BY LOVE POSSESSED

By love possessed, by love possessed, by love possessed am I. 
From the moment that we caressed, by love possessed was I. 
From the moment we kissed all my plans to resist were replaced by a sigh. 
Your lips were warm on mine and tender was your touch, 
I tried so not to care but suddenly I care too much. 
All my fears seem to come to rest, by love possessed was I. 
When your arms held me tight could I question the night, could I ask myself why. 
I only know I needed you so. 
And whether the end be high or low, 
In the valley or somewhere atop the crest 
By love possessed, by love possessed, by love possessed am I.
