Perhaps
Perhaps it was the moonlight
In your eyes that evening.
Or the smell of your skin
Or the way the wind was singing
Maybe it was the way you
Spoke my name like a prayer
Or the way your fingers brushed my arm in the summer air
Maybe it was that first slow kiss
Your hand on my cheek, my
Breath escaping in a sensual hiss
It might have been the desire
Shaking your body, the need
Building an all consuming fire
It was that first admittance of love
Leaving softly from your lips
With promises yet spoken of
That destroyed me, trapped me
Broke down the wall built
My emotions surging, bursting free
It was everything that is
Was, Has yet to be, crashing
Around me. you broke this
This carefully constructed shield
Raised diligently to withstand
Too strong to yield
You left me broken, consumed
In my love for you. Hopelessly
Hoping. Admittedly confused.
We had a love so strong so, real
Or so I thought? Maybe I
Who gave everything was the only one to feel.
