Gathering all my strength
to remain distant
You went to every length
And I was swept away
Swept away as surely as the sand
is swept away from the shore
As surely as the hands of time
sweep away our youth
As surely as the rain sweeps away the grime
making everything new again
Thoughts of you slip into my mind
hour after hour
Swept away by your creeping mist of power
Seeping into my heart
making me whole
And still
I am swept away

after our first date where Wes was too forward, I stood him up and didn’t
want to see him again. For five months we talked on the phone and finally he
won me over and we went out again. He was wonderful and the date was magic.
We’ve been together ever since.
