Summer Breeze

There was this summer breeze
On the last day of August
It was calling me to join it

I could hear it whispering
As I was sitting in a balcony of Patmos
Listening to Don Henley

I could hear it passing through the alleys
Gently embracing the small houses of the island

I could see it kissing the sea
With such a passion
Even the greatest love would be jealous

I could feel it all over my body
Touching me as you and me were touching
And I thought that this must have been you

I decided to dance with it, to dance with you
We met each other somewhere in the night sky
The world was spinning around us
But we were holding each other so tight
It was the safest place: your hug

Slowly you took me back to the balcony
You gave me a warm goodbye kiss
You left
I opened my eyes
I saw the most calming sunrise
