Leave Me Breathless

- originally written September 26, 2007 -

Take me by the hand without a word
Just let your eyes work their magic
Make it so that not a sound is heard
For this silence is anything but tragic

Draw me slowly closer and closer to you
I can smell the pure intoxication in the air
Nothing about this here could ever be untrue
Each and every escaping breath is a prayer

Heart beating so strong it might consume me
Every single one of my senses is heightened
I'm spinning so quickly, mind completely dizzy
You're making me a different kind of frightened

Is the music still playing, I can't seem to hear it?
Are people still continuing their lives around us?
Your hands on my neck and in my hair seem to fit
Make your move, there's nothing left to discuss

My eyes are closed as your lips gently meet mine
I can feel something inside I've never felt before
I know now what it means when souls intertwine
The life I was living till now isn't enough anymore

You leave me breathless as you take a step back
Or is it just that I've never breathed before now?
These mere inches of distance are a heart attack
My whole existence is sighing a long "wow"
