love is
more intoxicating than wine
and warmer than the sun
it is also soothing
and exhilarating
and empowering
when you know that
the one you love
loves you too

i don't have to find
a good excuse
to stand dangerously close to her
i know she won't move away
because she wants me there
as much as i
want to be there

it is heaven
because i know
that she loves me
and i know
that i love her

suzy
how i love
to hear that name
and how i love
to hear her call me
baby girl
those words are
music to my ears
