I tried to help myself

But you took my breath away.

And so, I couldn't help myself--

I completely gave way

To the fancies of your spirit

(Knowing that you fancied me)

And chose to let you take me

where you wanted me to be:

In a state of pure indulgence

in the lover that you are,

feeling rapturous euphoria

break like waves upon my heart.

In bliss, delight, and love I fell;

I humbly asked for more.

Time went on, you loved me still

And shook me to the core

In the night, I called your name

(For no reason, I think.)

"Yes, my love?" You whispered back,

But I was fast asleep.
