I Wish You Were Here

I wish you were here next to me
To hold me close, so tenderly
And whisper in my ear, those three
Words that make me grin with glee

And then my eyes could turn to you
My cheeks would burn a rosy hue
Slowly I would fall into
The gaze you hold of honest truth

You'd hug me tight. I'd feel secure
With you nearby, my life's so sure
Your hand through my hair brings my focus to blur
While your scent in the air makes emotions 'come stirred


And once the time is just right...
Once the moment is there
Your face will inch forward
As my lips taste the dare

We'll silently kiss with our patient eyes closed
Praying just once for time to be slow.
