I fantasized you’d found me
Caressing every curve with care
fascinated by my flaws
Realizing what it is
to be with a woman so real
unlike those portraits of perfection
like manufactured mannequins
Not today’s definition of desirable
Shoulders and hips too broad
with a bit of a belly
resembling a Rubens painting
refusing to starve myself into submission
to become a slave to an impossible ideal
Your touch sent twinges and tingles
through every needful nerve
passionately possessing every part of me
our ethereal, eager essences
propelled to a higher plane of existence
Two wanderers in the wilderness
finally finding what we’d sought
after so many years of yearning
La vérité de l'amour

I have your Love in my care
he sleeps sweetly, soundly
he knows he is safe
as I cover him and kiss his hair.
The two of us witnessed you at your last
the ones you loved most
the ones you held closest
not knowing we would be trapped in the past.
How sore and bitter is my broken heart
your oblivion meant so much more
you craved a darkness we didn't share
your Demons did their best to keep us apart.
I feel you in the room, sitting so closely
I can feel your heartbeat as you say
You were why I could leave
watch over my Love, for he is the best of me.
