I just want your arms around me holding me tight unceasing
When you look at me, my heart tightens and does a little happy dance
You kiss me and velvet turns to silk and I'm lost in a cloud of peace
You sense when I'm down and out, you always worry that it's about us
But my darling, sometimes it just life's bumps and ditches that bring me down
Though sometimes it's hard for me to let out my thoughts and discuss
Just give me time and patience, I promise I will come through and explain
I just want your arms around me, fingers intertwined in mine
Hold my hand, touch my skin, kiss my cheek, shoulder or small of my back
Let me know you care with your skin, your hands, not just your words
Soak up the essence of us, for soon you'll be gone and it will be too long before
I see your smiling face and loving heart again.
The lyrics in my head dance like waves day after day and I just want you to know;
"So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up"
(Hold on to me and, never let me go)
Author notes
My significant other leaves for Basic Training in Texas for the Air Force on December 15th, 2009. I wanted him to know how much I love him and that I'll be here waiting when he comes home to me.
