The Power He Had...



His smile was all it took to bring forth the ecstasy in me
His touch made my knees weak
His mere gaze made my lips tremble

He never realized the power he had in him
He never did

The day he left
my world collapsed
no longer could i breathe
no longer could i live

His smile was all it took to bring forth the ecstasy in me
His touch made my knees weak
His mere gaze made my lips tremble

He never realized the power he had in him
He never did
