Alive

The perfume you wear,
the smell of your hair
as I hold you so close
right then and there
my heart skips a beat.
And all that we share
is alive.

The bounce in your walk,
the lilt of your talk
as I observe all of this
I listen and gawk,
knowing full well what I see
completes all of me.
I'm alive.

The way that you sleep,
your poses I keep
in my mind as I go through my days.
My heart seems to leap.
I pray you'll be mine
for you're my lifeline.
I'm alive.
