I wish You were here
To smooth the knots in my back
I'd gladly trade
These sheets
Blankets
Pillows
To be all wrapped up
In You instead
Because these things don't make me
Feel beautiful when they touch me
Having to stretch over me
Taking every chance they get
Each time I turn over
To sneak out of bed
The way You only would
When You were headed for the kitchen
To brew a morning pot for the two of Us
Though I know You'd stay in
As long as You could
Watching me dream
Kissing my cheek
Waiting with patience
For me to roll awake
To watch those precious eyes
Marvel at my presence
And to feel those gentle hands
Still smoothing out the knots in my back
I wish You were here
