Cephallonia, My Love and Me

Its been there Always has Since first we fell in two The ache to open the secret Let this beautiful love Be public view I can say it in hushed tones Always wary of stray eyes Always eager to see I want to shout it from the hilltops But my heart is sellotaped closed No one knows I am loved for me People fall upon me Look away Sorrowful conclusions on their face I want to tell them If only you knew My tender place I often dream of it Packing up our bags Watching our clothes huddled close inside Wondering what it will be like On the other side of this secret With no more secrets to hide Walking hand in hand For the very first time Feeling the hot sun on our skin Being greeted as a couple Nothing would make me more happy To be acknowledged as the love next to him Walking along the beach Just as the sun is setting Looking at a sleepy blue sky Holding his hand in mine In the freedom of Cephallonia Trying so hard not to cry We would dance Our forbidden bones Excited by the touch of the sand Nestling between our toes Encouraging us To embrace this beautiful land As tired eyes emerge We walk the sun kissed Breathing in every beautiful breath of the sea My heart is at last Shouting from every hilltop This is Cephallonia, My Love and Me...
