Yesterday we were naked
Close to love
Breathless
Needing
Laughing.
Us
Today, I’m alone
Hopeless
Crying
Lost
Me
I want, you
I need. Us
Without warning
Pretty much lying on the floor
**** close to closing every door
Mocked and shunned
like no hurt I'd ever felt before
Questioned every choice
And never heard a loving voice
On the street, without a hand
Left to walk a lonely land
Then I looked up from my guitar
All my breath just flew away
I don't know just who you are
But if I lost you I'd be here today
Singing,
take my hand, and don't let go
Hold on tight cos now I know
Your smile has saved this lonely boy
And given back his faith in life
And all he thought he'd lost
It's all I can do to stand up straight
But you are here, and worth the wait
My heart is here in every line
I can't believe it,
but you're right on time.
And we just keep saying I love you
Until the day we  say goodbye
And I place no one above you
But I can’t keep living this lie
Those moments that I think of you,
resting in my arms, stroking my hair, talking over our plans, kissing me tenderly.
Those moments are a constant.
As constant as my undying love for you.
As constant as the North Star.
As constant as the nights that I miss you, when you’re too far for me to reach.
As constant as the truly immense respect I have for all that you are.
And as constant as the pride I feel when you take my hand and whisper your love to me.
Those moments live inside me.
Constantly. Constantly. Constantly.
This love is at once fresh, exciting, heady. Intense
Then ancient, comfortable, calming and familiar
Like it’s come home from a long, tiring journey.
My heart is finally in your safe and living hands
My wait is over
My search has brought me to the rest in your eyes
I can look at myself through them
And know that when you look at me too, we will see only love and laughter.
It’s you, at last
At last,
You.
This is your room
Even tho you can’t be here
This is your room

I sit in your chair
I wear your dressing gown
I shower every morning
And at night I lay me down
On your bed

This is your room
Even tho you can’t be here.
This is your room.

This is your heart
Even tho you can’t be here
this is your heart

You touch it with your love
I feel your fingertips
I cry cos I’m alone
And long to feel your lips
Touching mine

This is your heart
Even tho you can’t be here
This is your heart

This is your man
Even tho you can’t be here
This is your man

He wonders how you are
And if you think of him
He sits and waits and dreams of you
And keeps his love within

This is your man
Even tho you can’t be here
This is your man

This is your man.
This is your heart.
Here in your room.
There’s a loneliness that’s born of a crowd.
There’s a silent whisper
That screams right out loud
There’s a smile
That makes your soul sing
There’s a kiss in the dark
That makes sense of everything.
When the hurt that feels like it’s been sent the grief
