#holdingyou
Sometimes when I can't sleep at night
I reread your letters to me to feel at ease
And every time you and I have a fight
I know that every low moment just leads
To more highs of embracing you completely in love
Embracing you in my heart
And more than anything in heaven above
I just want to be a part
Of the reasons you laugh and smile,
The reasons you tremble with joy and glee,
And despite the distance, despite every mile
I know that you and I will always just be
Fine in knowing that love is infinite, love is eternal
Your voice is the calm wind on a sea
Your smile is the fire raging in a furnace
Your laughter is the old friend I love to greet
Your soul is the infinite love beneath your surface
I know I can be a bit much on some days
I know I can be less than the perfect man
But I will try now and will try always
Because the only thing I want is to hold your hand

I’ve held many things.
Hands and breath, and memories,
Hurt that still stings,
And lost opportunities.
I’ve held many things.
The gift of a newborn son,
A phone while it rings,
Shame for the worst things I’ve done.
I’ve held many things.
Too long, too much and too few,
Emotional swings,
But none is like holding you.
