Old Soul from Sensual by Meagan Chandler

Old Soul
(for Ben)

I'll never forget the night you said to me
"I don't want to be presumptuous
But would you like to play with me?"
And here we are just a few nights later
And you offer me your arm
Just like a true gentleman
And just like a new old fairy tale
You've concerned yourself with what it means to be man.

And your old soul courts mine
And your rough hand finds mine
And the truths we lay upon the table between us
Are raw and thorough

Too soon the hours have slipped away
And you're walking me back to my car
And I could easily drift away
Into the night and hide
But you reach for me
Your tender hands
On my cheeks
Leaning in

And all the pain of past love affairs comes crashing
And all the hurt I don't wanna feel again comes screaming
I'm hesitating
And you're waiting
And my heart is daring me to try

And your old soul courts mine
And your sweet lips find mine
And a new electric fire is burning in my veins
And nothing will ever be the same again.
