Before I EVER Let You Die

I just need to hear you say it once more,
Those words that make my heart swell.
Because when I hear how honest you sound
I no longer think about the distance I once fell.

My thoughts race & become loud when you kiss my lips,
And I can't breathe with your arms wrapped about me.
I'd be willing to walk an infinite distance of land or time
Just to have you in my arms to keep.

With on gentle brush of your fingers across my flesh
I can feel my whole world erupt in a flood of fire.
My skin breaks out in a nervous cold sweat
And I can feel myself growing lighter.

Every kiss you leave on each of my fingertips
Is like a jump start to my life, my heart.
Passion radiates from my breath when I say,
"Baby, don't let this fall away & apart."

"I'd never hurt you," you promise me,
Your hands cupping my hopeful face.
You stare at me & swear, "I'd die
Before I ever put you back in that grave."
