Sighing Sea

 All this time this slow dance of you and me
 In the big city or by the sea
 within that slow tact of well~wishing
 within that inner sigh
 in the depth of your eye...

 'Let me dream', you said
 within reach
 as the fireflies put us all to bed
 without you every third heartbeat was a tear
 hidden or would just appear....

 You slowdanced me into the place I never knew
 warm hidden neath the summer shadows with you
 let me ease your burden, let me sigh all problems away
 oh darling I brought you the seashell that whispers ocean deep,
 please stay.
