music+passion=love

seeing the sunshine 

in what seems like the first time

in seven years

and here you are

ever present, never absent

your smile lights up my world

I can feel my heart beating

so intense I barely steady 

my shallow breathing

this time is different

everything, all these feelings

I pray you don't leave

I've truly never been 

this happy and overwhelmed

in my life

thoughts overtake me

and your arms emrace me

praying I wake up next to you with the dawn

painting pictures of color

a canvas of hope and love 

dream of me when you finally fall asleep

cling tight to US

and I will awaken 

to a new start

a new day a new midnight 

with you
