Loving you is like chocolate covered caramels
savoring the flavor
until the caramel lies naked
in my mouth

Knowing that is so,
my mind won't let you go
It's all been said before
but me to you, means more

Shooting stars
in your eyes
kisses like pillows
where my head lies

Arms so strong, that
enfold your hands
so sure,
your touch so bold

Loving you is like a warm blanket
on cold nights
Soft as clouds draped gently
against my skin

Here today, then gone for awhile
But right now,
today,
you bring your smile

At night, steady in your stealth
you give me
love like a shamrock's
wealth

Loving you is like a cool splash of water
on a hot summer day
refreshing droplets
landing sweetly on my tongue

How can I forget you,
sweet man
Come back to me
when you can

Need someone to hold me tight
Need to feel your warm light.
