Written after a weekend of short lived romance. |
How Long 2001 How long since I spent a whole night in bed with a man, His warm arms all around me? How long since I have gazed into dark eyes that melted My soul down to a place it longs to be? All of your history has little to do with your face, Your mainly still a mystery to me, With violins filling in space. We stood in the nude in front of the fire. The energy surrounding us with naked desire. I sank and I slept with only one care. To know that when day broke and I awoke You would still be there. The hours for once passed slowly, unyieldingly by. Like a sweet breeze on an open field. Your gentleness came down upon me, And I guess I thanked you when you caused me to yield. We spook not a sentence of importance and Took not a footstep beyond our time together Which seemingly soon would be gone. Just don't tell me of love everlasting And other sad dreams, I don't want to hear. Just tell me of passionate souls who rescue Each other from a lifetime of cares. Because if love means forever expecting nothing returned, Then I pray I am given another whole lifetime to learn. Because you gave me O so many things, It makes me wonder how they can all belong to me. And I gave you only my dark eyes that melted you heart, Down to a place where it longs to be. |
