i never knew how tender
love could be
until i met you
we both had walls up
afraid of being hurt
but little by little
an entrance was made
though we were both scared
we took a step forward
i didn't want to hurt you
but i really wanted to love you
when you held me
it was like you were afraid
i would disappear
if you had let go
i never knew how tender
embraces could be
till you wrapped me up
in your unique kind of warmth
wanderers don't have a home
but i found it in your arms
when you kissed me
it was like kisses from
a thousand butterflies
i never knew how tender
kisses could be
till i stayed up all night
trying to make time go slower
your soft lips were the closest
i'll ever be to the heavens
i love you
