My steps feel lighter
The fresh air winds up from the valley
I dare a look back to see where you’re at
You look up and playfully return my smile

Maybe it is the high mountains surrounding my shoulders
Making me feel safe, even at home
Or might it be you? You and your strong arms holding me tight
And suddenly I forget about turquoise waters and fine white sand

You rest, I rest
My head upon your chest as if it was moulded for it
In tight embrace we lie on the green summer grass
Under the burning sun and some chirping birds

I could remain here all day long
Breathing your soft warm skin
Eating from your full lips
And falling deeper into these brown eyes

Forgetting about all the troubles we let below
I let you take care of me
You put your arms around me like protecting hills
And I melt away like small flakes of snow into spring water

The sun is slowly setting over the mountains
While we make our way down to the valley
but only this time more loving
and confident about us
