I hope you are there. I hope you are reading this.
I hope you see my words. For it is you I miss.

The nights have been cold. The days been long.
The bed has been lonely. And god have I been too.
I know you feel this way. I know you are missing me.
Not to be conceded. Let's say. This has been a shared feeling.
Not quite disappointment. Not quite regret.
Like a missing piece. Of an unexpected puzzle not yet built.
Almost thou. Nearing to. Completed no. Not quite yet.

You have what I need. I offer you the same.
It has not been easy. I can admit that babe.
But here we go. Final stretch. Of this ******* heart-wrench of a race.
Distance. Endurance. A test?
Regardless. We are almost finished. But not quite yet.

All for what? Shall there be a prize?
All I want. Are your eyes.
Your touch. That lust. We share.
A moment still. You in my arms.
A drug. No overdose. Smoke. No choke.
Be my ecstasy. Get me to see my dreams. Come alive.
I will be your nicotine. Give that body a buzz. Bliss. No disguise.
I ask the heavens please. Give her strength.
To give herself to me. The moment that we meet. Again.
I know. We are close. But not quite yet.

Shhhh. Loneliness may be felt. But no, it is not permanent.
Let us find that missing piece. Let us complete this puzzle.
Let us dance. Reconnect. Make love. Sweat.
Let us show them a real race. See who finishes first.
We won't need a night. We won't need much.
I am ready to go. I guarantee you are too. But not quite yet.

I need you. So god I hope you see this.
I know we spoke. Said we miss.
We miss where we were. Together. All night. All day.
Miss our hands meeting skin. Miss the way we fit.
Like a perfect puzzle set. With you on top.
Oh don't you stop. Got my dreams coming true.
God babe. I can feel you. So close. So soon. But not quite yet.
