We sat at a table and sipped coffee
We sat at a table just you and me
You looked into my eyes and saw my cue
I looked into your eyes and saw your blue
You reached your hand across the void
I reached my hand, I was overjoyed
What happened next is hard to say
What happened next is history
I had a crush on him
He was the sun and the moon and the stars in the sky
He was everything I dreamed him to be
I’d always been a flower on the wall
So I did what I could for him to notice me
I spruced and preened and plucked and tanned
I batted my eyelashes and changed my style
And he noticed me, he did I can say
But it was not enough for him to stay
For more than the fleeting moment when he grasped my hand
And for that moment my heart leapt up, my world became alive
He moved on to brighter lands
Leaving me with a memory so many moons ago
Of a solitary moment when he noticed me
Took my hand in his own
And then let it go
I’m dreaming of
Your hands on mine
I’m dreaming of your kiss
I’m dreaming of
Your lips on mine
I’m dreaming of your touch
I’m dreaming of
Your body’s heat
I’m dreaming of your love
Your arms around me
Caressing, loving, caring
Hit the sweet inside of me
Your lips so lightly
Teasing, flirting, touching
Hit the sweet inside of me
Your eyes upon me
Enticing, glowing, watching
Hit the sweet inside of me
Your tongue erotic
Traveling, kissing, tasting
Hits the sweet inside of me
How many seasons ago
Would it be?
When we sat at the harbor
Under a midday sun
I hungered to reach out
And take your hand
Your hand in mine
I willed myself to dare
Knowing that if I did
It could not be undone
So I fought a battle
Allowed the moment to pass
And it did
The moment passed
I will never see you again
But I can still remember
The time we sat side by side
And I won a battle in my mind
Ignoring my heart for just a while
We are lovers
On this journey
We are companions
Passing through
Our souls mingle
For a season
Until our hearts
Beat their final
Score
You looked over
Lingering just a few moments
Too long
Your eyes
Meeting
Catching
Playing
Imagining
I cannot read your mind
But your eyes
Speak for you
Under the moonlight
You wrapped me in your arms
Amidst the dark
We admired stars
The world became
Just you and me
The setting sun bare witness
As suddenly
I caught my breath
I felt your lips upon
My hungry skin
Pulling me into you –
I melted
Today
Is when my dreams come true
Today
Is where my love shine through
Today
Is when I take those steps
To share my heart and life with you
If you want me
Come and get me
If you need me
Tell me so
If you love
The way I talk
My every move
The way I walk
Search me
Till you find me
I am waiting
I’ll be yours
