As I Look

As I look at you and watch you live I see the love you freely give Leaving nothing behind for yourself You act nonchalant but I can tell As I look at you I want you closer I want to hold you and roll you over Run your hair between my fingers Kiss your lips and let it linger As I look at you I watch you walk away I look at the clock to count the days Ticking down the time it takes For my love for you to break As I look for you and see you walking Knowing the times that we were talking Are a thing of the past you’ve lost Leaving me to bear my own cross As I look for you and I don’t find you I know this path I always choose A chance to strike then waiting to lose The only thing I ever needed to find To look at you and know you’re mine
