You came into my life unknowingly changing me forever
Like a flash in the dark my mind’s eye opened to you
What you see when you look at me is who I aspire to be
Beauty astonishing but you’ve avowed is true

To describe what I see is complicated;
A man with a heart a seismograph cannot measure, a shy smile
The hair of a raven, and eyes like a river bottom
With the mystery of movement, under darkness and shine

Your voice sends white-hot chills along my spine
Your lips of cranberry ice leave me with dreams of your kiss
Deep in the heart of the night, a secret longing awaits me
I awake from my dreams to find sweat clenched in my fist

Your presence haunts me; I tenaciously pull my eyes away
All the while craving to draw my body nearer
The heat of your touch radiates to the center of my being
Tickling my skin as the memories of dreams become clearer

When I speak, you listen…oh how you listen
Hearing truths inside me I am always trying hard to conceal
I will go on eternally wondering what’s inside the mystery of you
Thoughts the taste of your kiss might, never reveal

Every day my soul searches for the compromises to be made
Between my body, happiness, and my mind
Dreams can be delightfully cruel; I sell my soul every night
Inside the safety of my dreams, we are forever intertwined
