A Lover's Riddle

Who is this that has me looking at the birds,
observing the sky, and admiring the greenest leaves of spring?
He has put the pep in my step
and made me sing
a song I never knew 
and hum a tune I've never heard

Who is this that I speak of but long to speak to
conversating with myself
of things that I would like to share, see, and do
My smile has never been so bright
the love has seldom felt so right
I am dreaming of the arms that are to hold me tight
night 
after night
after night


Who is this that sends a shiver down my spine
every time
I replay the lovemaking scene inside my mind
I'm
	wanting
			waiting
					thinking 
							of you
