Knock Me Off My Feet

 

Softly, slowly, sweetly he kissed my cheek

Silence, breath trapped, words lost I forgot to speak

My sweaty, shaky hands he placed upon his chest

And my heart raced, stopped, then fluttered beneath my breast

 

I love him deeply, boldly from the darkest of night to the light of day

And with bated breath, patiently, quietly I listened for what he'd say

 

"Here" he said, "This my heart, is yours to keep"

And louder, faster and harder my loving heart it beats

 "I love you" he said,” my air, my heart, my soul, my skin"

And on bended knees and upon my finger, slowly and gently he placed a ring

 

I needed a chair, some air, my knees they felt weak

And as I said yes, I thought this was what it meant

To knock someone off their feet.
