• Collapsed here in the dark
    I think of how far we are apart
    I clutch my heart and feel it ache
    Threatening that it should break

    I want so much to have you here
    To feel you close, feel you near
    I see your face when I wake
    And can't help but cry as it dissipates

    Then all I see is a lonely bed
    A neighbor pillow with no resting head
    A half-empty blanket with one lone form
    No second body to keep me warm

    Yet as I clutch this heart of mine
    I sense it soften, hear it chime
    I close my eyes and see you there
    Cradling my heart with tender care

    I reach out and hold your hand
    Within our hearts we will stand
    And if I never see your face
    At least I know I've found a place

    A place to go if I am sad
    Lonely, upset, scared or mad
    And you will be there waiting too
    To clear my worries with those 3 little words:
    "I love you".
