I never knew before
The power of a simple touch.
The merest whisper
Of your skin on mine
Made my senses spring to life.
That night on the beach
When we first met
The stars were in perfect alignment
The heavens smiling
Their approval on us.
I casually reached for your hand
And our worlds stood violently still.
The electricity leaped,
Shocking your heart and mine
Into stunned belief.
At that moment I knew,
I became yours and you mine.
The briefest hint of what could be
Gave me such hope,
The chance to dream
Of the miracle that could be us.
I gazed into your eyes
And felt your soul open itself up
And swallow mine whole.
Life can never be the same again.
