Take Me Back

take me back to the day when the world seemed to disappear
and only the two of us were there;
finally, after a long separation, two souls were reunited

take me back to the place where I was lost in your eyes and held fast in your arms.
there, I was loved and safe and knew I had found my way home

take me back to the feeling of your body against mine,
where I inhaled your breaths and you tasted my essence there, we gave completely what had been held back for so long.

take me back to the place where we were so closely intertwined that we became one;
with that connection there deep inside me, you found what I thought did not exist

take me back to the hours when we made love with an urgency and a passion long denied;
there, we expressed with our bodies what can never be said with words

take me back to days when my dreams seemed to be possible before reality and my imperfection destroyed it all
before my guilt takes me to the realization that you are again lost to me and I'm left with a sadness that won't go away
