A gentle touch against my cheek 
Sends a shiver down my spine. 
A breath, a whisper, 
the lightest touch of lips. 
His hand touches my hair 
and falls onto my shoulder. 
Is this really love? 

Oh how you make my soul soar, 
my spirit fly! 
My heart races like drums of old 
and the blood in my veins 
flows like a torrent 
around my body. 
Is this really love? 

You enter my being, my space. 
I feel safe and secure with you. 
Protective arms wrap around 
like a blanket, 
strong and proud. 
Your warmth I can feel 
against my back. 
Is this really love? 

Your loving carresses, 
the way you look into my soul. 
Makes me know we know eachother 
from long ago. 
You don't speak but 
you 'speak' volumes 
with your touch. 
Yes this really is love.
