Inside the shadow's shadow

Hold me tonight
Against your shuddering skin.
Kiss me just right
The way you always do.

Lay with me right now
Let this moment last forever
Let me kiss your lips so tender
Let me gladfully surrender.

Run your fingertips across my cheek
The way you know I love
Make me sigh and shed a tear
In thanks to up above.

I know God must have been reluctant
To give you up to me
To hold you in my arms
For I'm afraid you won't be free

For a very long time, you see
I can't dream of letting go
Of the perfect one, the only being
Who warms me, heart and soul.

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
