MY FRIEND AND LOVER

I walked hand in hand with you down roads

I never thought I'd travel

Escaped the world and found a new one

We shared the secrets of our souls

Trusting each other, knowing who we are

Tentative at new beginnings

you reached out to me ...

you found the passion in me

Engulfing both of us

with the intensity of what we feel

You  taught my heart to sing

to the music of your soul

The essence of you surrounds me

follows me everywhere

You led me into places I had never been

You keep me always in your heart

safe, secure and confident

You wrapped me in your love

and friendship

yet turned me free to experience everything

You showed me love transcends reality and space

We reached the stars, together, you and  I.

I'll hold you forever in my heart.
