i lay alone in the dark

trying to cry myself to sleep

but never quite making it

into my fantasy land

 

my body trembles with fear

my heart aches with each beat

i never thought i'd hear

your tender voice again

 

tell me that you love me

whisper that you miss me

sigh softly that you need me

remind me that you want me

 

take me in your arms

hold me close to you

never ever let me go

and love me, always

 

like you've never loved before.
