I emerge from that room
To see your smiling face
As we meet in our slow embrace.
Never have I felt so wanted-needed.
Loving you in return
Has never been a burden.
Every look I give to you is genuine.
In fact, there are words to express my love
That I could never even begin to say.
For the words I’d say to you,
Would take days upon days to say.
Every time we touch brings me back
To every hopeful wish I’d ever had
Before you had come to me.
And now, because of you,
Every single dream of mine is coming true
Just lying here with you
Every desire I’d
Ever envisioned,
Ever imagined
From truly loving someone
Is made real with you.
Never have I felt so awake and alive.
Steadily waking
To the new daylight
I open my tired eyes
And you fade away
As I rise to start
Another day.
