Just the Two of Us

I first saw you as a lonely traveler with the gentle gaze,
And you helped me get through that dreaded winding maze.
When we got out the rain did fall upon my already dampened cheek
That smelled of salty tears which from my eyes did leak.

You sheltered me from the storm and kept me from harm's way
As the cold wind did howl and the trees did sway.
You sang me a song, a nostalgic melody that resonated me softly,
And as I listened to your voice, I felt my world fill with serenity.

The rain had stopped, the clouds dropped, and the sunset gave a sign
That evening had almost come, a night that would be so benign.
We watched the sun setting and listened to the gentle breeze.
But my eyes were caught by your smile that made my heart freeze.

It was getting late and I knew that we had to part.
Meeting you made me fall and, from you, I could not depart.
I realized then that my heart was beating not to give me life,
But because it had found the one who it can die for from a knife.

We bid each other farewell and my forehead you did kiss.
Oh, that soft caress that kept me alive, I would truly miss.
I will never forget this day, the day that I met you.
But now we really must part, for the sky is showing it's indigo hue.

That night, I looked up at the ceiling, lying on my bed,
And thoughts of you suddenly came rushing through my head.
I remembered your sweet melody and I fell into a deep slumber,
And I dreamt that we would meet again and be together forever.

My dreams that were, oh, so sweet brought me to a place
Where our feelings would never disappear, and our lives filled with grace;
Just the two of us going beyond that distant ocean and sky
And with the birds, we soared high and passed the world by.

I woke too early without the sun in sight,
And it was still so dark, it almost felt like night.
Then my eyes became wide for I saw you standing there,
I thought I was dreaming, and at first, it gave me a scare.

You looked at me with your crystal gaze and all my doubts did fade.
You came closer to me and recited me a poem that you had made.
You told me through that poem that you had loved me from the beginning,
And with a kiss you sealed your words, and I could hear that my heart was singing.
