Thank-you JC for inviting me to write . . . it has been a while. It felt good to work with you again.
She: (doubtful and fearful) You love me only when you see a smile When dancing in the breeze young and carefree It's only then you find what is worthwhile But you don't love what's there, the real me He: (reassuring) As the first morning rays shoot skyward Your smile breaks above the horizon of my heart Your face radiates joy, dark eyes prancing with delight Your wind song expanding the sails of my soul Is this not you that I love? She: (wanting to believe) You love me when I make you feel alright When you are sad and need a warm embrace You need me when you’re lonely in the night And then you ask to have my saving grace He: (reconfirming) Your love is my refuge, a sanctuary of goodness You drive away my fears, you dry my tears Gently I tend your garden singing lightly into the night Tongue tasting sweet love flavors upon my lips Is this not you that I love? She: (confident and assured) I am the one that you have made me be A fragile woman yet a woman strong The faith you have in me has set me free To be secure in love where I belong That's why it's you that I love A collaboration between David Meade and Jade Celeste @ @ / / | \ / |/ / | \/ (|) / \_ _/ \_ Love Generously
