I've never told you (A cowboy's lament)

[poppyhoney_67]

Have I told you when it happened?
When the darkness let me be
When the door that never opened
Set my heart and spirit free?

Did I tell you when you kissed me
In the shadows of the fire
All my fears turned to ashes
And what remained was scorched desire

Shall I tell you what your kiss did
When it lingered on my skin
How it burnt my mouth, my fingers
And stoked the ache within

Can I tell you when you loved me
And you caressed and stroked my face
When you lay me down beneath you
Sheltered in this precious place

Would it be ok to tell you
These things you need to know
How much I miss and love you
And I will never let you go.
