I recall when you held me

with an embracing lullaby, so soft

that I couldn't let go of you,

a sweet covenant that kept my

hands wrapped around you

Then I saw the truthfulness in your eyes,

and my faith could not hold back,

my lips could not hold back,

my resistance melted

your hips remained loyal to my touch,

your presence, a magnetic field

that attracted your kiss to my lips

As we danced,

I was caught in a wave of passion

then I looked into your eyes,

and saw that your heart was litten

by a mighty force,

so was mine,

we fell in love,

that is why,

we still can't deny each other's lips.
