When she holds my hand she squeezes it When I hug her she takes her time I can feel how warm my love keeps her When I'm gone she is too, thinking of me The time away seems to drain my soul I look in the mirror and see the loneliness Yet i wake up smiling and knowing she's in my heart I don't know how long I can keep up this shirade Acting like I can be long away and still ok She says she's head over heels for me And not afraid to tell her friends I'm praying this love stays strong and never ends Because I've had hundreds of friends Plenty of people come and go, remember me And can't forget my spark, but never said Now she's here and I told my buddy When she leaves for sure I'll be dead Because now there's a light so bright I tear up Without her my mind would never clear up Of memories so sweet I fear, **** I just couldn't go on acting like I'm fine Because everytime I see her smile my soul is on fire If I ever said I don't really care I'd be one **** good liar Ya this time long away makes me so ****** tired There's a distinct pinch of pain when I dream of the rain Kissing her, holding her head in my hands Feeling her soft lips smile while my eyes are shut Then my alarm goes off and I think ugh Time is an illusion and I'll be home soon enough But really my love, my love this time away is rough
