If You'Ve Ever

If you’ve ever danced,
You’ll know me.

If you’ve ever sighed, 
You’ll know me.

If you’ve ever looked to the depths of his eyes,
And smiled a swift smile that you couldn’t hide,

If you’ve ever trailed the tip of your finger
Along his warm skin, and then let it linger,

If you’ve ever wished to be wrapped in his arms,
Helpless at fighting and testing his charms,

If you’ve understood – for a brief second – life,
You’ll know me, my friend,
You’ll know me.

The restraint ... the poise in what is told ... brings a the manner of a genius who has confidence ... and need no excess to write for my happiness. Love.
