So I sit in this apartment
All alone
Wondering if you are ever
Coming home
You see the waiting and the loneliness
Are driving my heart to distress
I need your touch your sweet caress
On me

Living this way is wearing
On my soul
Everywhere I look I see
You in the corner of my eye
And I turn my head to see you
But you're not there
And it's killing me inside.......
Killing me inside......

We are our own
Little world
We have our own language
And we get each other

No one else can
See the inner sanctum
That is yours and mine
To share
Between us

I can't
Live without your love
And I can't
Live without your love
And I can't
Live without your presence
I can't
Live without your smile
And I can't
Live without your tears
And I can't
Live without the knowledge
That one day we will
Be together

In eternity.......

I’m driving home on a grey rainy day
And she calls me
And says she needs a roll of quarters Because she needs to do her laundry.

I've been waiting to hear from her
And I'm ecstatic at the sound
Of her voice.

And yes I will gladly get her the quarters
Or anything else that she would want
Because I love her.
You see, my heart's desire
Is her happiness
She's the one I would do anything for.

I wake up and you're not there
And
My bed is cold, bereft of your loveliness
I ache for your presence
I long for your lips
Lightly pressed against mine
I wish for the warmth
Of your loving embrace
Of your whisper in my ear that
You love me and that
We will be together again soon.
My desire for you is boundless
My love for you is a spring fed well
That will never be dry
When I sleep I dream of you
When I wake I think of you
My arms are empty without you
My heart beats faster at the thought
Of you
My sun burns for you
My moon reflects your beauty
The rain intensifies my desire for you
You are the balm of my soul
The cool relief of my
Burning need
The soothing bounty
Of my insatiable desire
My hands shake with the want of touching you
My body trembles at the thought
Of your touch
When we are apart I feel
So cold, so alone, so truly alone
I look forward to our future moments
Our future days
Our future lives together
I want you
I need you
I hope for you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

Waking in the night
Disoriented from sudden darkness
Skin cold and wet from
The sweat on the sheet
Hopelessness sets in as
Life's cares crash into my mind
Like a crushing weight on
My shoulders

I look around and in the darkness
I hear your breathing
Softly whooshing in and out
I am comforted by your presence
My faith is restored by the fact
Of you in my life

My mind thinks of the bible verse
That says that I am the branch
And He is the vine
And I realize that the same is true
In you

Without you
I can do nothing

I turn toward you
Place my arm around your waist
You stir
And turn back to me
You turn your face to me
And your beautiful kiss on my lips
Strengthens me
Bolsters me
Fills my heart with reassurance
Shows me that your love for me
Is undying
And true

You are my rock
My foundation
My light and my joy

You are the still waters
I love to lay by

You are the shining light of the moon
In the clear night sky to light my way

You are the meaning in my life
And my love for you grows day by day
Like an Amaryllis
Whose blooms never fail but
Are constantly replaced with more

I thank the Lord
For you
Every second of every day
And I will continue to do so
For the rest of my life

Contentment eludes me
When you are far
Overcast my heart becomes
When time and distance
Barricade me from the one I love
Internally jittery
Longing
Desiring proximity
Twinges of the heart
Aching for nearness
Unsatisfied
Distraught

But then unexpectedly you appear
And suddenly
Peace
Calm
Fulfillment
Fall on me like a gentle summer rain
The sweetness of togetherness
Work on my soul like a balm
Soothing away the tightness
And constriction
Which ruled just a short time ago


You are that sweetness I desire
The lovingkindness my soul
Cannot bear to be without
The sunlight on my face
And the cool wind in my hair
The smoothness of your touch
The sweet scent of you
