This love, our love
so understated
but all consuming
A stick of rock
written right through me
it always has been
Reaching out a hand
to feel
your hand waiting
A tide
I’ll always return
A well
I’ll always refill
your bucket
with love
All my wants, all my needs
melt into a single thought
All my hopes and dreams
collide inside the fact
you exist
I reach out my hand
take your cheek
in my palm
Your smile doesn’t dim
but takes on a new glow
A tide
I’ll always return
A well
I’ll always refill
with buckets
of love…
