You came and you rescued me,
from the wind of a turbulent storm.
You offered comfort and security,
and a place to feel safe and warm.
But how could you have known,
that I could so easily be led,
away from what I thought was love,
into your arms instead.
I feel as if I've known you,
because of your kind and gentle ways.
You're like a bright ray of sunshine,
after too many wet and cloudy days.
You seem to see right through me,
you read me like a book.
You have touched me your gentleness,
and caressed me with your look.
Your passion has surprised me,
because it so matches that of mine.
You're like a diamond in the rough,
so exquisite and hard to find.
You excite me beyond explanation,
you have caused a fever deep within.
I want to share my passion with you,
but also I want you to be my friend.
For today I wish only to thank you,
for giving me a new reason to smile.
You're a much needed breath of fresh air,
I want to deeply breathe in for a while.

quite a tale of love, deception and betrayal of spirit. I think many who have fallen in love both fast and deeply have felt this at some time, that they were a pawn in the game of the one they so desired. great job.
