If You Were Here Tonight

If you were here tonight

I would whisper in your ear soft words of love

to let you know how I feel.

I would softly touch your body

to let you know how gently I want to love you.

I would hold you so close

to let you know I want you near me always.

I would kiss you deeply

to leave you breathless with my passion for you

And we would finally become one.

My Love

Love is when I hear your heartbeat begin to match mine,

your breathing steady and reassuring,

slowing the quickness of my own.

Love is when I look into your eyes and see a smile deep within you which I know is for me alone,

the desire that only I can fulfill,

the warmth that reaches deep into my soul.

Love is the taste of your lips when we say so much without using any words,

but still understand.

Love is the protection your arms offer,

your strength and tenderness,

the heat from your body and the feel of you against me.

Love is the trembling of my own responses,

which only you can cause,

for you are the only one I need.

In Your Eyes

In your eyes I often see

The love you're afraid to admit,

And it goes straight to my heart,

Feeding my flame of passion.

As long as those messages are there,

I won't give up on us.

With each look at him,

I feel desire welling up in me

Until I could nearly explode with wanting him.

Then, when I can stand it no longer,

I go to him, taking him into my arms,

Nearly content just to feel him next to me,

Yet knowing I'm fueling his flame of passion.

As he loves me, the world all fades away

And nothing matters but what we share.

That is when I find true peace and contentment.

Always

No matter how many times we set each other free,

We come running back to the best love we ever knew--

The love we shared together in better times.

With each new beginning, our passion grows stronger

And our need grows deeper with each kiss and touch.

Yet there is still a constant nagging fear of pain and heartbreak--

A fear we could put behind us if we'd learn to believe in ourselves;

Returning with such regularity proves we'll always be in love.

Together Again

The moment I looked into your clear sweet eyes,

My whole body quivered with anticipation,

For they mirrored the longing I knew must be

Staring back at you from mine,

And then our lips met in that fateful kiss,

Proving once again where our destinies lie--

No matter how hard we fight it

Or how far away we run,

Something always draws us back to one another

With all the passion we've felt since the first day.

The darkness of your curls

Reminds me of the many nights

We've spent in each other's arms

Sharing the heat of our passions.

Looking into your beautiful eyes

I can see the clear reflection

Of the woman you've helped me become

And the love we have discovered.

With every touch of your hands

My skin tingles with excitement,

Sending me to new worlds

I had never known existed.

Your sweet tender love

Is all I need

To know true happiness

As we spend forever together.

Prison

Imprisoned by my love for you, there's no chance for my escape.

You've decided this is the price I must pay to show how much I really care for you.

Now I'm hiding my love--and myself--

away from the prying eyes of the world,

So that even you wonder if I really care.

Perhaps I care too much.

Even being in the same room with you leaves my heart pounding out of control.

How much more torture must I bear before you let me give all my love to you?

Frightened by the passion you've aroused,

I don't know if I can fight it much longer.

Set me free to live and show my love,

ande I'll willingly belong to you forevermore.
