I realized you were my protector
when the nights grew longer and
my desires grew stronger.
I could taste freedom between my lips
a sweet decadance, light, like the aroma of
honey suckle in the southern sun warmed wind.
And 'oh how my heart would beat,
wild, like hoofbeats on an open range.
I knew within that moment I would never be the same.
I knew you were the calm before the storm,
the way your voice would sing my name.
I knew you were an angel when you became
the voice of reason that guides my mind.
I knew I wanted you to hold my heart
when I realized you weren't mine.
Alone, I had to walk this road,
until I found my Mr. Right.
Now it's his love I speak of
holding me at night.
