Never Knew

A simple exchange, stepping out

Never knew this was what it was about

Taking a leap into your arms

Getting lost in your natural charms

Silencing all those plaguing voices

Taking comfort in our choices

To be, to live, to love

Never knew what I'd only dreamed of

An easy tie, a closeness, a comfort

In our kisses as we left behind summer

Never knew just how much

I'd quickly need your smell, your touch

Searching for your warmth in the night

Watching you sleep in the morning light

Melting away as you kiss my knee

Never knew this is how it could be

My mind always carried away

My heart wishing for you to stay

Finding myself lost in your stares

Never knew I could feel so bare

Naked, my whole self exposed and open

Wrestling thoughts of feeling broken

Never knew your words could be

The soothing balm that would help heal me

Finding myself sinking deeply

Patiently, quietly, meekly

Lingering on your words, your kiss

Never knew it could be like this
