many moons ago
i would read books
about kisses
and hugs
and sweet dreams.

i would never know
the true meaning
of the feelings
described.

AS IF
you are on a beach
sprawled out
on the wet sand
waves come rushing in
water runs over your body
in and out of
all your little grooves;

AS IF
someone's lips
were soft enough
to make your insides
grow wings
and fly above you-
you're weightless.

AS IF
syrup
was poured
all over your
naked body,
and ever since-
you tasted
so sweet.

i was lost
until you took
ahold of the wheel
and drove me into
the clouds.

i never felt
true bliss
until i felt
you.
