Just a gentle love song.

Just a gentle love song.

She does not belong to me,

I could never own her.

And yet,

I find,

With every touch,

Her body is

More known,

Than mine.

And strangely,

In this growing

Together,

The knowing

Of her

Is still a mystery.

She interests me,

Even as the years

Go by

And we melt,

Sometimes into one,

She will surprise.

The changing colour

Of her eyes,

When she smiles,

And the wisdom

In her words,

When the world

Is so absurd,

Keeps me so well grounded.

I am dumbfounded

How long it took

To find her,

But eventually

I did.

And I am glad.

But for too many years

I hid

Just what it means

To know,

That she was glad

She found me too,

Even when she said so.
