Written for my husband and the renewal of first love that still hits me when I pull back and admire him from a distance.

You Stir Me
Copyright 2004 Karen J. Layer
Caught you looking in the mirror
Know reflections measure time
Saw you gazing at your face and waist
Mourning your hairline
Caught you glancing in the mirror
Kinda thought that was a "girl-thing"
Felt a sudden twinge of empathy
You're reminding me of me
You stir me
I guess we're alike - you and I
These thoughts of mine
They intertwine
With yours, and you
I never realized
You stir me
Awaken what's inside of me
For years you've been beside me
Still, you stir me
And stir me..
Watched you talking to my friends
Kinda made me long for our first chat
You're attractive from this distance
So strange remembering you like that
Saw you laughing with my friends
Had forgotten how you radiate
Forgot how your eyes sparkle
But I know it's not too late
To say..
You stir me
I guess we're alike - you and I
These thoughts of mine
They intertwine
With yours, and you
I never realized
You stir me
Awaken what's inside of me
For years you've been beside me
Still you stir me
You stir me..
No way to describe
Soft movement within me
It's you so old and new
Still stirring me
No way to explain
This motion within me
Intense and gentle
Sentimental
Stirring
You're still stirring me..
You stir me
I guess we're alike - you and I
These thoughts of mine
They intertwine
With yours, and you
I never realized
You stir me
Awaken what's inside of me
For years you've been beside me
Still you stir me
You stir me
Still stirring me
You stir me...
