Why I have to face it, or even if I can.
Sometimes it all consumes me, and I don't know what to do
That is when I close my eyes, and turn my thoughts to you.
I look at myself deep inside, and want to turn and run.
Knowing that I need to change, but want to run and hide.
That is when I close my eyes, and you're standing by my side.
One who understands me, accepts me as I am.
One I can pour my heart out to, who is gentle and so dear.
That is when I close my eyes, and see you shed a tear.
A hug, a squeeze, an I love you, a deep and sensual kiss.
A gazing stare in my eyes, a love that rings alarms.
That is when I close my eyes and crawl into your arms.
But my heart aches every minute, that we spend apart.
I live each moment of everyday, wanting to be with you.
That is when I close my eyes, and know this love is true.
My heart beats so impatiently, of what might be in store.
And when I crawl in bed at night, tears I no longer see.
That is when I close my eyes, and you make sweet love to me.
