Yet, I don't know your name
You come to me in my dreams
Whispering the calling of my name
Appearing with an outlined radiant glow
I'm losing myself in your eyes

and wonder how I manage to tame them.
I tell them, "Its a part of who I am."
They stare at my sun kissed skin
and wonder why I am not a shade...
