when you're gone,
i need you here.
your presence lingers
when you're not near.

my hands tremble
when i reach for you.
you paralyze me,
how do you do what you do?

you hold me in your arms,
all of my fears melt away.
you caress me, i freeze up;
your eyes turn to a striking gray.

when you grab for me,
the lust shines through your eyes.
your hair falls into your face,
while my heart screams and cries.

when we're apart,
my mind races continuously.
i wonder if you're thinking of me,
as i sit here, plotting conspicuously.

when you hold my hand,
i feel a wave of love come over me.
especially when you're driving,
what is this? what could it be?

this is slowly evolving,
becoming more than just lust.
every kiss connecting us more deeply,
every touch creating a stronger trust.

don't be afraid of me,
i would never manipulate you.
you are such a beautiful human being,
and our feelings, we must construe.

hold me close, don't ever let go.
i need you here, and i know you need me.
keep me near, throughout the night,
i'll show you true love, you'll see.
