Premiere Contest WinnerThe Beauty of Us

I drift away, 
                    yet you are still by my side, 
                          aching for my love,
                          if only in spirit-

            I need reassurance... 
            you stay with such ease.

I sift away,
                    yet I am still in your thoughts, 
                         remembering my passion, 
                         if only in desire-
  
           I need compassion...
           you give with such mercy.


For you are my hourglass;
your grains that sift through my
                                   narrowness-

and I am your dew drop,
quenching each petal that holds
                                    together your nectar.
