The Ache That Wakes

She is the ache that wakes me,

Her breath runs shivers down my spine,

And through those countless lonely nights,

Oh how I dreamed that she’d be mine.

I walked along in darkness -

The bitter cold was nothing new -

But then I felt her arms around me,

And she said she loved me too.

I lost myself in her hazel eyes,

She set my chains alight,

For now I’m hers,

All troubles melt -

She is my one delight.
