I want to be held,
But I’d be the one
Wrapping my arms around you,
If it’d mean,
I could breathe you in,
Just once more,
Uncertain of when
Our eyes would again meet,
An uncontrollable smile,
Tugging at my lips
Calm pulling me under its shelter,
Safe in your presence.

And if then should the world be burning,
I wouldn't care.
The flames could take all of me,
So long as they didn’t touch you
Nor waver your smile.
The one I tell you is beautiful,
Though you disagree.
The one I’ll forever long to admire.
But for now I’ll daydream,
Your hand holding mine,
“When again shall I see your face?”
