You stole my breath away
Like you do most any day
My heart raced
My palms were drenched
I find it hard to walk away
Putting any sort of distance between us
Your scent, touch, and smile
Oh, they only hold for a while
When you are hours away
I would do anything
If you would just stay
Work calls so you have to go
No matter what the weather
Miles are placed between us
Memories of our last encounter
Have to hold me over
Keep me from going crazy
Something to look forward to
Count the days, then the hours
Until you appear in town once more
To continue the friendly banter
Now its my turn, to even the score
I understand that you feel somewhat the same
Something like that came from a pal
You feel a bit afraid
Not sure if you want to go there
You close the distance gap with your
Playful hugs, and chasing games
Your pal says, once you were burned
It was a long while ago
And if anything, you have learned
To keep you heart at bay
And yet, you sometimes choose to close the distance
If I had my way, I want you to understand
My hand would be in yours
We would not look away
You would leave your fears behind
Our bodies would be near
Words that had not come before
Would be shared from both sides
Knowing the things that matter most
You and I would be together
And together we both would
Close the distance, forever |
