I am safe when you are near, 
like a baby nestled in his mother's arms.
I can breathe without gasping,
speak without stammering,
my embarrassments fade  
in the glow of your smile.

There is no pretense.
I need no safety net; 
your closeness brings 
a feeling of well-being.

Dancing with the lights low
and kissing in the rain,
holding you so tight, 
and hoping that you'll never let me go

I feel complete.
