Hold me close, Whisper in my ear. Tell me everything you'd love to hear. I need you! Well, Not you but it seems, That no one else will do. I want to feel!! To love and be loved. Once, Not so very long ago, I knew what it meant to be real. The love I have for my daughter, The only love I want to feel. Choosing to love, And learning to heal. Letting go of the past, Yesterday is gone, Tomorrow is not here, So take the present, And hold it dear.
