Sitting here, Looking out into the night. Soaking up the warmth, Before the coldness moves in. I close my eyes, And a calmness overwhelms me. I just stand there, and I breathe in. Not wanting to move. Not wanting to open my eyes. For I know when I do, I'll be standing there alone. But in my thoughts, you're standing here, Next to me; With me. In my thoughts, Your presence is strong. But in reality, You're nowhere around. How often I wish, I could just reach out, And touch you. Softly running my fingers, Down your face. Memorizing every inch of you. Holding you close, So I can hear your heart beating. So I can feel your breath, Touch my bare skin. How I just want to exhale, And bare my soul to you. These feelings, I'll hold within.
