May I

The night was sweet and

shivers ran

along my aching spine

my heart was warm

my thoughts were afraid

of the quick yet sacred time

I'd met him there

my smile, my security

and cried with evening rains

he kissed my tears

and held my hand

and lessened all my pain

I'll never forget

his soft sweet lips

and the brightness in his eyes

I'll never forget

that night he turned to me

and whispered

"May I?"

It's been a while

since I've felt that kiss

since he's held me in his arms

I want to go back where it's warm

where I'm safe

away from harm

I'll never forget

his soft sweet lips

and the brightness in his eyes

I'll never forget

that night he turned to me

and whispered

"May I?"

(I miss you)
