I rested my head on your shoulder
And listened as you quietly breathed
The moment is held in my memory
Of a feeling so very sweet
The warmth from your body enbraced me
Your arms were a shield against pain
The gift of love given forever
And my life at that moment was changed

You stirred and my heart throbbed with longing
You whispered my name as you slept
My lips traced a kiss on your shoulder
And tears gently fell as I wept
Your love is as soft as a kitten
Like a fresh spring that flows from my soul
It nourishes my life and gives meaning
And for the first time I finally feel whole
