A time of care



A tickle in the wind and a flurry of adrenaline making my heart skip

Tripping me up and rattling my head so my thoughts are all a jumble
Icy cold shivers sending goosebumps through my soul
My knees weaken at the slightest hint of a glimmer of that smile
Each breath is harder than the next and it's difficult to speak

One shouldn't have such a power to shake a man to the core
Flesh of my hands sweaty and shaky and nervous giggles exit my mouth

Caught in a web created by a meticulous hand with dexterity and finesse
Artistically she weaves a net and captures my very heart and it's gladly given
Reaching through time and space and drawing me towards her
Ever have the fates been plotting yet she weaves her own fate and links our souls

Ages passby and pages turn yet forever something draws us together
Nobody knows why or how it happens
Drinking in eachother's every detail and memorizing each feature

Linking our hands giving us a powerful front which is hard to defeat
Our resolution to build each other up and turn away the doubters
Viciously defending one another if someone dares to cause harm
Embracing each other in good times and bad
