Taken My Breath Away

Taken My Breath Away

That first time I saw you
You took my breath away
All I had in, me every ounce of my being
As I saw you breaking in laughter
That light in your eyes
It took all my willpower all I had within me
Not to fall for you irrevocably;
& then as I looked into your soul
It took all my strength every little ounce of me
My fibrillating heart as I took you in my arms
Finally making love all the while finally
It took all of me!
The very core of me loving you
The fullness of my heart;
At the sight of you, I could kiss you
Kiss your eyes your lips
In the darkness, of my nights
It takes all of me to hold you tight
Out of a dream;
Seeing you in silhouette
As on that first time, you took my breath away
Was I dreaming !!  
In the lightness of my days come what may
To the darkest of my nights
It takes every ounce of me
Not to call you in the night
When I need you to hold me tight
& in my, minds mind flutterings
Like the beating of my heart;
As I hear you call my name in the middle of the night
It takes the whole of me!
Even if you do not feel the same!
As I whisper on to you at any time of the night
Your smiling eyes telling me it's alright
& it takes all of me!
When I hear you call my name
As you kiss me holding me tight loving me!
It's alright; Ahh darling,    
He takes me to hell into infinity & back
Unfocused fibrillating my heart my blood
It takes all of me, my love
Ahh darling, what chance have I
Seeing the light in your eyes, what chance have I
What chance!
Looking at, me thus, the light of love in your eyes
Please look not at me that way!
For lost, I'll always be!
Every ounce of me!
Lost within my mind
Just a look, a touch, believe I can not
The plight I find myself
As am holding you against my heart      
Like that bird of the night
That nightingale rendering her song
Right through the night
In such a plight am I!
