We’re together, laughing
I hear your voice, not the words.
Everything about you soothes me.
I reach for your hand, you step behind,
pull me into you.
Breath on my neck,
lips find my skin,
hips press in…
Your arms like iron, so strong, so safe.
You rock me side to side
slowly.
Back and forth to the distant music,
you hum in my ear.
I am weightless,
you free me of worry…
your soft laugh.
I feel your feet next to mine,
we move in time
swaying side to side.
A slow dance, you behind me.
Don’t you ever let go…
Don’t you ever let go…
You bring me peace,
awaken desire.
Don’t you ever let go.
Dancing in the dark,
no start and no end.
The warmth of your arms,
the touch of your breath.
Gentle sway,
music far away.
I am swept in the moment,
the day disappears.
Then it strikes me—
you are gone.
I am dreaming.
Loss again, emotions reeling.
You soothe me back to sleep,
say it’s okay…
you’ll always be here,
in some assured way.
And as time moves on,
I know this is our song.
I see you in my sleeping,
feel your embrace.
I hear your voice,
I know your touch.
These nights will stay with me
forever ours, dreaming…
forever ours, dreaming.
