I felt something there
For quite some time,
But refused to admit
I might be in love.
I had been hurt
And I was determined
Yet when you took my hand
When you held me close
When your lips touched my cheek,
Something burst into a flame
Roaring through the night.
Your touch,
So gentle,
So passionate
Sent shivers down my spine.
And turned my world upside-down.
I wanted to laugh,
I wanted to cry,
But more than anything,
I wanted your warm arms
To wrap me in their soft embrace
And never let me go.
My darling,
Please,
Never let me go.
