I never expected this:

I never expected this:
This bright, still-burning ember
Brings you almost constantly to mind;
The way I can’t quite help but remember
The way it felt when you were a little bit mine…

I never expected this:
The way your laugh still makes me glow,
Or how I see you when I close my eyes;
The way your form is one my arms still know;
How willing I am to chase what’s so unwise

I never expected this:
How quick and sweet you take my breath away
Your beauty faded not a jot by time;
I see you in my dreams both night and day
Thoughts of you still make my heartbeat climb

I never expected this:
Sweet butterflies from knowing that you’re there;
How many of the ‘rules’ I’d willingly break;
The momentary Nows we chose to share
And just how many more I’d let you take…

I never expected this:
The treasure of those memories I clutch
Give way to flights of fancy, building new
Hopes that once again I’ll feel your touch;
Be lost, enthralled, in lust, enlaced in you.
