Every Inch

by

John Larsen

How do I tell you I want you?
With every inch of my heart.

How do I tell you I feel you?
With every inch of my soul.

Everyday time passes and I grow more alone.
Everytime my feelings heighten
and I turn into stone.

Every inch of my brain tries to be controlled.
Every inch of my being is something I continue to hold.

How do I tell you I love you?
I open up my heart.

How do I tell you I need you?
I open up my soul.

You give my life a purpose, to which I long to strive.
You open up my memories, strengthen my emotional drive.

Everyday, I long to hold you.
I know it to be true.
Everytime my feelings fade, I know I can count on you.

I need you...
...with every inch of my heart.
