A Love Like This
Beside the river flowing over smooth
Stones, dark and shadowy waters,
Healing me with hues of summertime truths…
Echoing past the whimsical blue, streaming
Alive like the music playing in the distance
Meeting my heart’s hope with gentling
Blistering my memory with harmony, blessing
The promise of tomorrow – history in the making
Yesterday, the past, long gone from today…
Yet, it lives in my history, my memory, my heart
Where it aches to be felt once again… listening
Like a verse in the wind, blaming the early times,
The moment I decided to make him mine
The moment he realized love had come by…
Like a wise, old promise… awakening the beautiful
Inside two hearts who finally knew the meaning
Beneath the intimate, the passionate, the fleeting moment…
A diamond sparkling tenderly, brilliant as the kiss
That happened when we knew the first breath of bliss…
To finally feel a love so tempting, a love like this!
