Cloud nine

I wish I could describe how I feel
Emotions dance behind my lips
I wish I could explain my emotions
Meaning just beyond my fingertips

You ask why I feel this way
So I lean in to whisper in your ear
"Words cannot describe this feeling
But maybe this will my dear"

My lips touch yours
And time seems to slow
I look into your eyes
Never wanting to let you go

I search your thoughts
And I turn to walk away
I'm afraid and anxious
Of the words you have to say

Just as you tell me to wait, I turn around
And the world seems to fade away
Eventually I will hear the words
But that day is not today

Your apparition embraces my mind
And I am unable to speak
My entire body goes numb
From a single kiss on the cheek

I surrender to your beauty
For your grace has imprisoned my heart
Throw away the key please
The world threatens to tear me apart

Like that of a dream your eyes
Create paradise within my soul
I was unaware an angel could be a thief
For it seems my heart you stole

Oh how I wish I could tell you
Contemplating my emotions for you
You deserve an explanation
For these feelings are tried and true

The way I feel about you
Words simply can't define
All I can tell you is you showed me bliss
You brought me to cloud nine
