Young Love

You were my ecstasy

A thousand tiny

Little things

That took me higher

Than my dreams

Set my heart to racing

And my lips to smile 

And sometimes 

I still catch the 

Scent of your hair

But I wanted more

And I was scared

To care

And that breath you

Took away

Could not be found

Anywhere

So I stumbled when I fell

And lost my chance

To be for you all that

You wanted to be for me

As I drowned in that wishing well

So now my dreams have lost

All their color

And though. I swore that I’d never

I still remember the taste

Your hand  left in my hair

It was sweetness and battle

Of challenge and valor

All these things I didn’t know

Beyond the nightmares

In which I’d grown

And so I let go

I was afraid to know

That I’d pulled you down

Into all the hell  I called out from

Each night I lost my ground

Though memories fade

Do you remember the day

I took your breath away

As on the ground we laid

Eye to eye and stared
