Walk With Me
I wondered
If you would
Walk with me
For a while
I needed your strength
I needed your warmth
I needed you
It had been so awefully long
Since we had some time
To be alone together
Actually, it had been so long
Since I had seen you
At all
But it was only time
After all
And you always knew
How to make up for lost time
I looked into your eyes
And felt all those feelings
Feelings that I had buried
Underneath thin layers of necessity
Simply to carry on
But nothing had changed
Despite both our efforts
We were still as we had been
And that is deep in love
But for both our sakes
We tried to pretend
That we were friends
Only friends...
And you took my hand
As we sat down
And I think my heart
Wandered into my eyes
Because I had to
Look away from you
Well, I tried to look
Away from you
But you turned my face
Back to yours
And I started to shake
The trembling came from deep inside
I couldn't stop it
"What's wrong?"
Your voice was ladden with concern
Your eyes were full of question
Why did you have to be so sweet?
You held me
And all the anguish
That was locked inside
Began to dissapear
You just held me
Talked to me, softly
And, I swear, that there is
Some strange magic
That you posses
That always makes me whole again
You comforted me
As you always seem to do
With the mere
Soft touch of your hand
Stroking down my hair
And as I leaned against you
I let your warmth
Encompass me
I listened to your heart beating
Hmmm, it seemed strangely quick...
I found the strength that I needed
As I had thought I would
I found it in you
And with all my body shaking
And every rational part of me
Crying out
Against what I was about to do
I took I deep breath
Raised my head from your shoulder
Looked into your eyes
Searching for what I knew to be there
Searching for that love
The love I missed
So terribly
And you looked back at me
And in that time
When we held eachothers' gaze
Our souls seem to merge and fuse
Then I saw in your face
This softened sense of longing
I reached up a hand
To trace the curve
Of your lips
Soft, warm, and trembling
Then I placed that hand
Upon your cheek
Drew your face to mine
And kissed you
For all I was worth
With all the pent up passion
That I swore never to show
And I tried to put in that kiss
All those feelings
That I felt
Tried to show
What you meant to me
I took everything that I felt for you
And placed it in that movement
And to the startling relief
Of my worrying heart
You, my love
Kissed me back
