Please keep me close, an atom apart
But don't let me touch, it'll break my heart
Just let me linger, near enough to share breathe
But don't let me close the distance
I'll want to do it again

I think of her all the time
But doubt I really cross her mind
I wonder how she would she describe me if I asked
Would it be with the awe as I'd do when she'd pass

Would she smile at all when she said my name
These thoughts of mine, ****, they fill me with shame
Of her in my jumper, and me in his place
So intimate, they feel ***** to say

What a pointless confession, this one would be
So this soft secret stays safe with me
Though its heavy to hold, and the journey is steep
One of these days, my heart will be free

I play my guitar with a gentleness reserved for you
A light grip on the pegs as I tune
And a soft touch on the frets as I strum
Not leaving a single scratch on the guard
The sound warm from the feeling you bring
I pluck the same way you pull at my strings
The pick always the colour of your choice
I play,tenderly , in the key of your voice
And count in beat with the rhythm of your heart
With the presence of your love
The music can starts

Why did I ever wait
To ask you for that precious date?
Months I daydreamed of what you'd say
But then came that dreaded day
I heard you were asked by someone else
Someone brave enough to tell you how they felt
I regret every day spent pondering what to do
For maybe if I'd asked, it would be me with you

The sky is a clear blue
Against the glaring sun
Clouds offer gentle relief
As birds sing their songs of love
What a beautiful day it is this summer morning
And what a beautiful soul I get to share it with

All your worry has gone away
I wonder where it went
Maybe it isn't really gone
And you just passed it to your "friend"

All your stress has gone away
A miracle, heaven-sent
A classic game of pass-the-blame
And now the problem's in someone else's bed

All your pain has gone away
It didn't even leave a dent
Funny how quickly you change
And ignore others slow descent

Beams of sun flood the room
And morning air fills my lungs
I feel your heart beat with mine
And know that we are one
Your presence is my comfort
And your smile is my light
Let this morning never end
Let this be my last sight.

Time flakes away
A lifetime gone in seconds
Because of your love

Clouds sulk across the sky
As the winds wail in pain
The loss of you has upset even the gods
So much so that the sky is crying
And my pillow is stained

The rustling of pages and leaves merge
As my heart spills into this blank slate
Rain staining its face
And ink running from its lines
Words are being made
But the message is left to find

I must let it be known
That I refuse to give any less than all my affection to the one I love
When I find them
And they find me
They will know the depths of my heart
And feel its expression of joy at their smile
And with open arms
I will give them warmth
Through good and bad
Through highs and lows
Through sun and rain
For as long as they will let me
And I pray that they will let me forever.

Rain races down the window
The stars light the sky
Reminiscing on summer days
When you were by my side
The sunlight lit your face
Through the infinite clouds above
In my dreams I visit those times of glorious laughter
And wonder when I will next be in your arms.
