Vehement

you asked me if i was sure
didn't want to take it slow
hours later declared your love
to make sure that i know
we fell asleep entwined as one
a part of me you said
and woke before the mornings' light
as you slipped out of bed
the days went by, emotions soared
i said, i love you too
you kissed me soft and loved me fierce
oh, if only i knew
you'd push your hands up in my hair
and make me want to cry
you led me down a beautiful path
your heart, you said, was mine
i let you deep inside my soul
further than any before
and i lived this fantasy dream
until you shut the door
you whispered softly in my ear
and told me your goodbye
i lashed against it, then let go
to love you who am i
