Love Letter

I want to hold you.

I want to make everything go away.

Take you in my arms

And make you feel okay.

If my wishes were miles,

They’d outnumber ours

And bring us close together

To bandage up these scars.

I’m trying, just to fight for us

But feel my fingers slip.

I don’t know if I’ll catch myself…

Or if I’ll lose my grip.

I dream of you, each ending night

And dream of you at dawn.

I’m missing part of my heart

Because, right now, you’re gone!

How can I walk without a care?

I am a walking ghost.

I smile and nod to mask my pain ,

And our love, I there boast.

I miss you more than words combined.

I cannot help my reasons…

It’s hard for me to keep on strong

Through the changing of these seasons.

I worry so and cannot sleep.

I need to hear your voice.

You seem to imply everyday,

To leave you was my choice.

I twist and writhe in agony

Because I want to see you.

I did not walk, was torn away

The day I had to leave you.

Yet now I stand in pale moonlight

And whisk away your fears.

I’ll smother you with kisses soft,

And you’ll forget your tears.

We’ll sit and listen to the world

Lying quiet in the night

And whisper that I love you

And- to me- you are my light.
