Last Night We Took a Bath

Last night we took a bath
How sure of myself to lie with you in shallow waters
You see all of me
No bubbles to hide myself in shame
Only two relaxing in each other
The innocence of it all overwhelms me still
Last night we took a bath
Waters clung to you and made you soft
Sweetness
Protection
Safety in our waters
You let me see you once again
I am filled with the ache of a thousand years
You
Trust
Me
When so much is left to chance and
two have mountains to hold up
Last night we took a bath
Does this soul deserve?
Years of life deliver you to me with scratches
I wash you as a daughter
I wash you with warm eyes
No scar is too severe
Does this soul deserve a bath with you?
Two are wading in clear waters
You
Trust
Me
I can not say that enough
I Love You
