Story Behind The Song

Long distance is hard, but when the love is strong, you can sustain it. This was a moment when I really started to feel free to trust that it could work and started to allow myself to relish in the depth of emotion I had been experiencing.

Song Description

This one is for my husband. This is a summary of our own highs and lows and the power of the love and respect that kept us close and kept us moving forward. Life hasn't been easy, but we've had each other and that has made it all bearable. ?Zouk love closes out the album because it is so sensual and leaves you wanting more, just like this final poem in the book.

Lyrics

There's a look in your eye when you say "I love you"
And it warms my heart inside out
Reassuringly said, I am always sure your words are true
Your voice makes my spirit leap and shout
There's a warmth in your embrace I've never found
Quelling insecurities abounding within
Your soul speaks to mine without noise or sound
My eyes have begun to smile again
There's a hurt in your heart I want to soothe
It was gifted by those whom you love
There's a pain in your voice my kiss can remove
My strong back here to lift you above
There's a hope in what we together now have
The calming sound of my sweetheart sleeping
This renewed joy returning a long lost laugh
And an end to all our days of weeping
There's still time to tell the value of our treasure
To be proven yet with pending tests
Not defined by the many moments of pleasure
But the bosoms wherein our hearts now rest
There's still fear to conquer and paths to forge
Mighty we stand side by side
Our bellies with riches in time to engorge
Our heart from people never to hide
There's once and for all, a hope of true bliss
Within each others arms to find
With passion filling every gaze and kiss
Joy and blessings of every kind
