Lyric

I hold a love that burns for you—

A quiet flame, unwavering, true

When you draw close, the night turns warm;

Your breath becomes the shape my body knows

I’d trade the world for one soft trace

The hush of heat that moves between your words

This longing lifts me into light—

A willing fall into the night

Yet sometimes fear moves through my chest

A shadow curling tightly ’round my breath

If you were gone—if you slipped from my days—

Could I survive, stripped of my truth?

Desire aches in secret ways

A tender pull that still obeys

And when my voice begins to break

I love you more with every ache

In trembling light, it’s only you and me—

A hidden touch along a starlit, winding street

One breath, one pulse, a word undone—

The place where wandering hearts become one

I long to stay where the first fire grows

Close to the warmth carved deep in skin and soul

Call it hunger, call it fate—

A bond no measure of time can translate

In every sigh, in every line

Our longing slips beyond the spine of time

Last night, I came back traveling with the moon

Silver light shivered wickedly above the sea

And under that faint, tide-torn glow

Your shadow reached and touched me in a dream
