Now that things are truly on the level - That what I think of you, And likewise, you of me - Is clear in the open, Swaying in the steady breeze of change, Raised to the sky by the connection of lips, Has drawn you ever more often Into the train of my thoughts.
As if that was necessary, Considering that before all of this Not a beat of my heart Passed without you on my mind.
The distance between us That previously caused me grief and longing, Now conjures a quiet and melancholy behavior From one normally more rambunctious Than the most playful puppy.
I still have fun and can be happy, But nothing can compare To that unparalleled exhilaration Of standing near to you, holding you tight, Wishing the world would hold still, Even if only for a moment To prolong that maelstrom of emotions in my head.
And the only thought that seems to creep into my head is - I miss you. And if I had my way, I'd keep you within arms reach forever.
