Once more

He holds me close to him
His arms around my waist
I hug him as tightly back
My memories before erased

I pry myself away
Just enough to see his eyes
He softly smiles at me
His expression kind and wise

I wrap my arms around his neck
As he holds me closer still
Our cheeks touch, side by side
If not yet, love could kill

Swiftly he turns his face
Towards mine, our lips collide
Forever it seems we stand like so
For time we try to abide

Like feathers swept across ones hand
He touches my left cheek
I gaze into his eyes again
Because I can not speak
