If I knew it to be true, I would still need a witness,
for I’m convinced that I’m losing my mind.
I take in the sight of you and I lose all resistance
for the brilliance of your beauty’s made me blind.

Then I remember where I am, how it was, what it came to,
and I’m convinced all is not what it seems.
I remember how you were and how your so damned elusive,
Like a ghost that’s been invading my dreams.

Your stealing another chance, and I’m right up against it,
hoping that your changing your mind.
I’m reeling from the dance and your right up against me,
hoping that I’m changing my mind.
And the hours slip away like a feather on the breeze.
And I think it’s safe to say I’m as caught up as you please.

I decide that what I feel doesn’t hold up well to reason,
but I’m convinced that I’ve nowhere to turn.
To expose the spell I’m under would be tantamount to treason.
In your light there’s simply nothing left to learn.

Then I remember where I am, how it was, what it came to,
and I’m convinced it never happened at all.
I remember how you are and how your so damned amazing,
to be this high and yet not fearing the fall.

Your stealing another chance, and I’m right up against it,
hoping that your changing your mind.
I’m reeling from the dance and your right up against me,
hoping that I’m changing my mind.
And the hours slip away...

Your words made me "sway" with you in the highs and lows of your mood along the pleasure and disbelief of what is and of what has been ...

Very compelling write!

Love,
