WHEN I'M WITH YOU

by Meg Shaulis

I don't exactly understand

why I feel the way I do

but one thing that I know

is that when i'm with you

there's no where else

I'd rather be

there's nothing else

I'd rather see

than the smile shining

on your face

when i'm there in your arms

it takes me to a whole new place

a place I thought

that I could never find

but with just one touch

you changed my mind

and when you're here

there's no where

else I'd rather be

and its so hard

to see you leave

maybe I shouldn't

ask you to stay

but its so hard

to watch you walk away

I'm not expecting you to understand

why I feel the way I do

all I'm asking is

that you never stop being you.
