Water

We listen for the kettle As we warm up the water Your touch like the stove But I can't seem to mind it The pond is calming So are you As we lay side by side Our words like honey dew The lake is the next step So vast and filled As it softly murmurs Into our ears Our love is like water It started out cold It was warmed up the longer Each other we held It starts out small Calming and shy With our hands lily pads Gently floating on the water Then it gets bigger At first it's cold The longer we stay We warm up And we expand From containment From small quantities Until we are whole
