Sitting here for hours and thoughts engulf my soul
Somehow these images begin to take its toll
Wondering what you�re doing beneath the warming sun
So many miles away and I pray you�re having fun.
*****
An intense glance into your deep blue eyes
Said you would take me to heaven amid the bright blue skies.
Recalling how my body trembled with your hand�s first touch
And as we danced, I knew why I began to like you so much.
*****
On October 13th we met and that is when I knew
The lucky one you'd find to love would never feel blue.
Few and far between, a good man is hard to find
And if I close my eyes, will he be gone without a sign.
*****
I replay the times we�ve shared, again and again in my head
The thought of not knowing your heart, are thoughts left unsaid.
Three or more months and no sign of you
A heartfelt panic fills me through and through.
Already, you�re in my thoughts each night and throughout the day
I hope I don�t scare you, with these words I want to say.
The song I searched for, �Hero�, by Julio Inglesias
Brings me to you, a gentle man I treasure and will truly miss.
*****
As we waited in the car for that big ole Greyhound Bus
The words written here are words I wanted to discuss
But my thoughts told me I had lost my mind
And because of that, the right words, I could not find.
*****
How can it be that you have cast this spell on me
You have broken down the barriers and have set me free.
The heart I once protected with this steel wall
Crumbled the moment I met you and the walls began to fall.
*****
Please know that your friendship is not a sacrifice
And if our paths separate, where ever you may be in life.
Know I�ll always be a friend and will always treat you right
And when we meet again, we'll have the memories of that first night.
