Too Soon, My Love - Too Soon

So, here we are again, my dear
Our wondering hearts are trembling with fear
Of the step we took in the pale moonlight
Now, beholding each other in the bright sunlight.

Remember our plan? We'll take it slow
We'll allow our hearts and love to grow
Without the pressure of passion released
Too soon - but now, where do we go?

Is it time for us now to say good bye -
Do we gather ourselves and give it a try;
Are we done, my love, and now we start
On a future that tears our love apart?

Oh, help me now to understand 
How we lost control of our senses and
That now, our passion being fulfilled
We ponder if our love is stilled.

Yes, here we are again, sweet dear,
Two wondering hearts now filled with fear
For the step we took while under the Moon
Was it too soon, my love - too soon?

Hi Neva.....This is exactly the way I feel when starting a new relationship...our plan is always to take it slow..then the passion gets in there..and takes control..then you are left with what to do next...do ya take it to the next level..or do ya let it fall by the wayside?......Great heartfelt write here.....I loved it...........and could truly relate.....SugarbearUSA......:)
