A passing thought of your soft grin
Tugs my heart strings taut and humming
They play sweet songs like violins
Adrift in clouds of silk and honey
A sun burns bright within my heart
It shines for you a world apart
I feel you there reaching for me
And in your arms I long to be
I feel you here within my heart
A world away, but not apart
In dreams I play our first embrace
picturing your smiling face
the quiet warmth of knowing
you exist with me tonight
soothes me into peaceful sleep
as I bathe in morning light
I watch the window to your world
Dreaming of reaching through that glass
I'd crawl into your sleeping arms
And leave behind the past
Catching a glimpse of your soft smile
I feel my own heart beating
but opened eyes tear you away
for dreams, the fickle things, are fleeting
Embers smolder deep within
Spreading, rising to my throat
A gasp of air, I catch my breath
As flames of desire ignite
But desolate winds gather in my chest
As the fires fight to stay alight
I hold myself, a hollow shield
This empty space inside grips tight

And in your arms I long to be
I feel you here within my heart

In dreams I play our first embrace

soothes me into peaceful sleep

Dreaming of reaching through that glass
I'd crawl into your sleeping arms
And leave behind the past
Catching a glimpse of your soft smile

A gasp of air, I catch my breath
As flames of desire ignite
But desolate winds gather in my chest
As the fires fight to stay alight
