May I - 9 Days

The night was sweet and 
shivers ran 
along my aching spine 
my heart was warm 
my thoughts were afraid 
of the quick yet sacred time 
I'd met him there 
my smile, my security 
and cried with evening rains 
he kissed my tears 
and held my hand 
and lessened all my pain 
I'll never forget 
his soft sweet lips 
and the brightness in his eyes 
I'll never forget 
that night he turned to me 
and whispered 
"May I?" 
It's been a while 
since I've felt that kiss 
since he's held me in his arms 
I want to go back where it's warm 
where I'm safe 
away from harm 
I'll never forget 
his soft sweet lips 
and the brightness in his eyes 
I'll never forget 
that night he turned to me 
and whispered 
"May I?" 
(I miss you)
