As Time Goes By

As time goes by,
Somehow, it's now July,
I find myself here,
As I persevere,
Waiting for the one,
Who brings the sun.

In his every word,
Like a phoenix bird,
He sets me on fire,
A glowing sapphire,
Soon we will meet,
To make our bond complete.

His every action,
Is instant attraction,
Unlike Adam and Eve,
We are not na�ve.
In the ways of love,
We know the meaning thereof.

For him I will linger,
Like a pungent ginger,
All of my being is his,
As if dawn's first kiss,
Renown lovers of the past,
Are nothing by contrast.
