Every Time

Met a wonderful new friend who keeps me smiling.

Every time he's there,
I don't mind losing myself.
The meeting of our souls
made me breathe a thousand stories.

Every time he's there,
my heart is never
left unattended.
I drown in the mystery
of what makes him
who he is beneath skin.

Every time he's there,
I learn to appreciate my steps.
I uncover so much
beauty I always seem to deny.
He shows me how to feel Heaven,
instead of regular Hell.

Every time he's there,
he opens my eyes
to a brave new world.
I began to bloom...
this must be told.

Every time he's there,
I no longer
held wars within
my head.
It's no mystery
to why I stay
up this late
just for him.

My soul trembles,
wishing you could
carry me away again.
