WARMEST OF HUGS

SHE TOOK ME IN HER ARMS 
AND HELD ME CLOSE
I  COULD FEEL THE DANCING 
OF HER HEART IN HER CHEST 

THE RHYTHM CALMED MY SOUL 
AS HER PERFUME HAIR
AROUSED MY UNTOUCHED SENSES 
IT HAD NEVER BEEN EMBRACED 
BY LOVE BEFORE 

WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE 
A CASUAL EMBRACE 
OPENED THE DOOR TO ROMANCE 

I LOST THE TRACK OF TIME 
AND FIVE SECONDS IN HER ARMS
WERE AS A LINGERING SUNSET
IN THE HEART OF SUMMER.
