Because You came to Me
by Cherokee Girl

My heart didn't beat until the day you came into my life.
I went through the motions day by day.
I had no feelings.
A man cannot feel if he's carved of ice.
But suddenly there you were; with your long hair,
your strange clothes and even stranger theories.
But when you looked at me and smiled my breath
caught, the ice melted and I felt my heart start to
beat for the first time,
a beautiful rhythm of 'I love you' with every beat,
Because you came to me.

I heard no music until I heard it in your voice.
It is a rich and beautiful tapestry of sound, that
I will never tire of hearing.
A melody that my heart knows all the words to.
A song of joy that it will never tire of singing,
Because where there was once one, now there are two.
Two hearts beating in perfect harmony.
Because you came to me.

I knew no beauty until I saw your face.
My world was black and white
with only a few shades of gray.
Every thing flat and dull with no shape,
no depth, no form.
Then I looked into your eyes and I saw rainbows.
I saw colors and light.
Everything stood out in sharp contrast
And I stand in awe at such beauty that surrounds me,
Because you came to me.

I have tasted others kisses.
But, I never knew what ambrosia was
Until I tasted the sweet nectar of your lips
Now, I have a thirst that only you can satisfy.
And I know that I can never drink my fill.
So I come to you time and time again to drink
from you're sweet fountain.
I weep with joy at the knowledge
that this sweet wine is mine alone to taste,
Because you came to me.

When I lie in bed with you after our sweet lovemaking,
I smell the scent of your body.
your cologne, your soap,
the fine sheen of sweat, that covers you,
your spent seed.
I breathe deeply filling myself with the essence of you
imprinting it on my very soul.
And, I know that I have found my mate for life,
Because you came to me.
