I close my eyes

and I see your face

   next to mine...

how it feels like

a thousand times

  before...

and yet it's always

for the first time.

For in your arms

   I find comfort...

and in your words

   I find hope...

   In your eyes I see love

...how it reaches

   into my soul.

  You see...

I never knew love

could feel this way

   but then...

I hadn't met you,

for you've turned

 my night into day.

And someday when 

   we grow older...

and I close my eyes

and see your face

   next to mine...

even though

   I know it so well...

it will always be

the very first time.
