I Die A Little Bit Every Time

Sitting around relaxing An evening filled with love Forgetting the world outside As the stars shine above Laying together side and side Knowing that love is alive Touching and rubbing your skin As my love for you will never hide The sweet smell of you Fills the entire room Any time you leave Is always too soon The softness of your body Draws me to you like a magnet You give me joy and loving I know I won’t forget I want each night to be The way it was the first night Laying close beside you Until the morning light We watched the candle flicker As it burned toward the end Almost like a message That it was trying to send It was letting us both know That the night was almost through That soon I would be saying A sad goodnight to you But we both held on a little longer Not wanting to let go Knowing that in our hearts Our sadness was going to show I know that neither one of us Wants to say goodbye It seems that when I do Another piece of me slowly dies © 6-8-10/RJH
