That early morning
when you held me snug
in your loving arms,
while the dawn slid in hints of light
under those high mountains,
your body breathing easy while you slept.
And still you held me snug.
After two hours hugging you—
safe and secure,
your warm hard body in cotton undershirting,
I knew this moment to be the greatest joy
I would ever know,
ever had known,
ever will know.
And still you held me snug.
I knew this to be the greatest love
I would ever find,
ever had found,
ever will find.
My love for you overflowed to tears.
And still you held me snug.
