I’m sorry I can’t hold you, that I’m without you here tonight. I’m sorry I can’t kiss you, that you’re so far away from sight. I’m sorry I can’t lift you, and sweep you off your feet. I’m sorry I can’t walk with you, throughout these city streets.
Know that I am with you, no matter where you go. Know that my love goes on and on, so much more than words can show. And in my heart I feel you, just beneath the skin. These cold nights you keep me warm, I hold you here within.
Forgive me for my absence, I did not mean to leave you so forlorn. Forgive me for my transgressions, our love, not lost, not yet to be mourned. Forgive me for my silence, I can’t always think of words to say. Forgive me for my incredulity, know that in my heart, I pray.
I pray that I should find you, in this life or the next. I pray that should hold you, to alleviate these ill effects. I pray that I should lift you, to take away all your pain. I pray that I should walk with you, and carry you just the same.
