A thought for romance

I close my eyes and dream dearest,
For it is the only way I can be with you -
in this moment.

 

Breathless wonders fill my mind,
As I think about you -
endlessly as the night is dark.

 

Passion is over running me,
I try to hold it in,
But it pours out.

 

Running between my fingers,
As I try to hide it, to deny it,
And yet it still succeeds.

 

And I am that foolish girl once again,
Young, trusting, niave -
Trying not to fall.

 

To reach past what I have known,
To trust there is something more,
and to believe that it won't hurt me.
