And I wasn't prepared.
I was determined for it not to happen,
I told myself that it wasn't there.
I was afraid to look at you,
I was afraid of what I'd see,
But then your eyes found mine,
and jolted me to reality.
You took away the shields,
and then the barriers and the walls
that kept me distant and distracted,
ready to run at the slightest doubt.
Now I gaze into your eyes,
surrounded my your safe, strong arms,
I can't describe the way I feel.
Then you gently kiss my lips,
and we hold each other tight,
and each good-bye comes too soon,
I could be with you all night.
No matter where time may take me,
or how far apart we are,
I'll never forget our warm summer,
even when leaves begin to fall.
After white snow melts,
when everything turns spring green,
I'll always remember our summer.
If only in my dreams.
