Elation engulfs my body when you're near.
It swallows the flame in my soul, my fear
And lights anew the glow of my heart
Which continues to burn even after we part.
The feelings your presence awakes in my mind
Are unlike feelings of any other kind.
Your eyes are lit, your hands are warm,
With a gentle aura surrounding your form.
In life we will suffer, often in harm's way,
But I want you to know that I want you to stay.
