How can it be?

How can it be?

That the cool touch

Of naked skin

The brush of lips

A certain look

The tilt of your head

Emerald eyes sparkling

As the iris pulsates

Still affects me so.

Even though

Yesterday

Is so long gone

What does it mean?

The tingle and shiver

That runs

Down my spine

Whenever we kiss

A rapture divine,

Sweet music

In every chord.

I never thought

To know such bliss

When it has been

So long since

I beheld you,

That first time.

How can it be?

After so many years

I am still yours

And with everyday

That passes

Whatever mystery

It is that

Draws you to me

I would not

Want this life

To be

Any other way.
