The Lightning

I see you I see the light in your eyes The dark earth and blue skies That softly kiss your cheek I touch you I touch the side of your face Your hand Our fingers embrace Pulling you close I hold you I hold you in the dark The rhythm and the spark that makes Us one And all we have is this time together in our little world I walk with you We walk stride by stride Burning down from within to the tall hills surrounding our hearts I taste you Your lips are like warm rain falling in the high desert of my pain That I didn't even know I had I love you Like thunder from the sky Without warning Without knowing why The lightning strikes my soul But this feeling leaves me cold For I know that you will always be a part of me But you're not mine
