Steps There are steps I’ll take to be with youTo never be apart again To hear your quiet sounds as the wind blowsCatch the faintest whiff of your perfumeI know you’re reaching out to me Undoing the ropes of my restraint Pulling spiderwebs so close to your graspA hundred arms waiting to join with mineI recall your silky hair dipped in the morning dewThe flaxseed richness and the golden hueThe way you tied it and dyed itI gave…
