The Way You Hold Me

The look in your eyes

the smile on your lips

the kiss creeping in

the long-awaited pleasure

fireworks sparkle overhead

the surprise across your face

when i lean in first

i love you

the way you hold my hand

the way you hold me close

you nuzzling my neck

just hold me in your arms

never let me go

hold me forever

keep me safe and warm

protect me from the pain

that was well-known long ago

your kiss so soft and gentle 

showing me you love me as much as i love you

all I need is you

to be by my side

from now until forever ends
