III

Disrupting the still waters of my days,
Creating waves where once the sea was calm.
You changed my life in many different ways,
The sweetest hours were spent within your arms.
I wasn't looking for you, yet I found
A brief consuming passion in my soul.
I breathed you in, was happy to be drowned
Deep in emotion - so you made me whole.

Too soon you left, too soon you walked away,
You severed swift and quick my blinded heart.
All these new feelings left in disarray -
I've learned so much, and now I learn to part.

But ripples of your memory remain,
And never was there any sweeter pain.
