She told me my voice is soothing
like a river of flowing grace
she said my stories are moving
they take her from place to place

she told me my eyes were shadows
like the deepest of the night
she said that they shot arrows
at everything in my sight

she told me my arms were safer
like guards for her heart
she said that I could take her
that I was her brand new start

she told me love lasts forever
like the moon and the stars
she said that I was a pleasure
that I healed all of her scars

she told me that we were closer
like more than just a friend
then I looked over my shoulder
she was gone like the wind
