"Do You Love Me?" (a lyrical poem about when Kim and I first met)

Days spent shooting through the desert
Nights spent gathered around the electronic fire
Gaining ground on my destiny
Hoping for something to take me higher

Picking up your transmissions
Curious if this is the one
Rolling the dice once again
To see if I can raise the sun

A few drops have hit my face
But I'm not even wet yet
The dice are still rolling
I haven't placed my bet yet

East meets west and time stands still
The gods all hold their breath
Would this be the start of a never-ending journey
Or would it be it's death?

An eternity in an instant
As the gravity of fate pulled you to me
Did you think that summer morning
 I would be the one to set you free?

Never loved or been loved
Now you have eyes to see
I asked of you only this question
Do you love me?

I do not ask for my own sake
Or to clear up a misconception
For I know the answer is yes,
And it has a grand reception

I ask so that you may do the same
Having given up long ago
Resigned to a life of acquaintance
With little truth to show

I see the sparkle in your eyes
The divine essence of fate
Take my hand, walk with me
I'll give you more than a taste

Ah yes there it is
Realization blooming like a flower
The awareness of your love for me
Giving you undreamt of power

Power to open a heart once closed
Power to shine a light where no one knows
Power to accept that you can be seen
As the ultimate most wonderful girl of my dreams.

I love you Kim.
