MYSTIC COWBOY

And you are my mystic cowboy.

A match made in and under the stars.

Youth, commitment or too many emotions may interfere,
but then again, you might just be in love already.

You told me so yourself,
the night you opened your heart and hand to me
if only for a moment.

And now the words you can’t remember
are the very words I want to hear most.
So I’ll wait patiently, as promised, knowing that somewhere
between inviting me closer and keeping your distance
We’ll find the perfect proportion.

For your music and stories delight me,
your clever mind fascinates me,
your big smile and bright eyes melt me,
and hearing your clear voice comforts my searching soul.
Falling for you serves me right,
but we share a secret of the stars that ensures
a friendship that goes on, like this, forever.
