My legs are shaking
I’m overflowing with tears
Please take me home
My body filling with fears
I wake from nightmares
Shattered memories, past years
I lay silently beside him
His body presses near
Suddenly I’m breathless
My whole body switches gears
My heart drops pace
My eyes now dry and clear
The panic subsides
The moment I know he’s right here…

My legs are shaking
I’m overflowing with tears
Please take me home
My body filling with fears
I wake from nightmares
Shattered memories, past years
I lay silently beside him
His body presses near
Suddenly I’m breathless
My whole body switches gears
My heart drops pace
My eyes now dry and clear
The panic subsides
The moment I know he’s right here…
