In my dark despair
I reached out for you
and you were there.
You dried my tears,
calmed my fears,
and assured me, "I'm still here."

I hear you smile, though you do not
speak.
It's the laughter in your eyes
I really seek.

Strange that two shall join together
and be as one,
yet never really touch,
when to another, a smile means so much.

Fantasy is sweet,
but would we dare?
And those whose lives
we share?

They do not understand
our true desire.
They give us only warmth,
when we need a fire.

Do you think you know
which way to go?
If you were free
would you go with me?

I always felt you cared
about the times we shared.
I thought I was cool,
but really, such a fool!

If in fear we wait
we may find it's too late.
Let's take the chance
while we still can dance.

I want to reveal
what I am really like.
I don't want to hide
what I am feeling inside.

But it's hard to know
just what to say.
So much love to give
and life to live.

What I offer you,
please don't push away.
Anything you take form me
is yours for free.

You are my friend today,
my friend forever.
You already own
part of my heart.

You don't owe me anything,
and you never will.
The choices, yours to take,
the deisions, yours to make.

She saw the anticipation in his eyes
as she led gray horse from the stable.
No reins or saddle today she thought,
and stepped from the fence
to straddle his bare back.

Her hands wrapped in his silky mane,
her thighs pressed against him,
they rode smoothly through trees,
enjoying the earthy smell of the forest floor.

They climbed toward the mountain meadow,
while she matched the stallion's rythm,  
moving with him, feeling his strength,
tightening her grip as his stride lengthened.
Almost there she thought, just a little farther.

Suddenly they were over the ridge,
and galloping into the pungent meadow
filled with the blossoms of wild flowers,  
and the lush green grass of summer,
and into an explosion of scents and sunlight.

If, when you least expect it..
you are launched into orbit..
ride the rocket until the crash.
