I held your hand,
As we flew away,
Down to the earth,
But never to stay.

Cause we're way up high,
Lost in the stars,
No faults in our eyes,
No pain from our scars.

We'll fly away,
With wings of our past,
We'll continue to soar,
As long as we have,

Our eyes to seek out,
What our mouths can't explain,
Nothing to find out,
Only words to explain.

My worn out fingers,
Wrapped around yours,
Your light still shining,
Your heart still implored.

Your smile leaves me breathless,
Like I'm stuck underwater,
My lungs gasp for air,
But only let out laughter.

We held the night,
In the palm of our hands,
Your eyes the stars,
My heart the land.

Tranquillity, the sea
                     I drown within.

Though no waves,
                I'm immersed
                          beneath.

Stillness withdraws,
                 breathless.

Telepathically
When our souls meet
In our dreams tonight
Let me remind you
that human contact
Is an absolute necessity
I want you to grab
these hips of mine
And bring me in close enough
So I can show you
That in this timeless space
You will never lose me
I want to bite your lips
And fill your mouth
With reasons
you'll never want your heart
to belong to anyone else
Let me trail my fingernails
down your back
As a map of the places
You've taken me
You will fill my ears
with passionate noises you make
And remind me that
The only thing
I ever want to get high off of
Is your laugh
And within this rapture
When I whisper
that "I love you"
It will never be out of secrecy
But rather out of the certainty
That you literally
Leave me
Breathless
