Thinking of You

When hours pass and silence is loud
and when white-washed walls suddenly crowd,
I close my eyes and disappear.
No matter where I go, your eyes do haunt,
and I reach out to where you're not;
and suddenly I wish you were near.

Replaying every memory that we share,
those hours that it's just the two of us there--
everything between yours songs and my smile.
Time and space passes at different speeds,
but always quickly and unfairly, never what we need;
the song and road end, I'm praying for one more mile.

You're burned completely into my brain
your touch lingering like a frigid cold rain
because without you all heat is gone
and I wish for our fingers to twine,
to feel your heart beat next to mine,
and to watch night break into dawn.

Such silly emotions from a silly heart
wrongly taken from the Master at the start.
You'll never know how I pray you're the One,
and I pray that you're here to stay,
but I pray to God to keep this ache at bay
despite my affection, I don't want to come undone...
