Just me
and deafening silence
with a language
of its own,
missing you,
but knowing I’ll
soon be in
your embrace,
I’ll be home

As I lay my head down
I think of your skin
the way it feels
when our loving begins
I think of your shudder
when my journey’s in motion
and your touch, so soothing
like the tune of the ocean
We ride the waves
though real it seems
we’ll await the moment
not just in our dreams

Your gaze touches me
Can you feel my heart beating?
I feed on dreams of us
to escape the pain I’m feeling
I envy oceans’ waves
when they caress the shore
Your loving embrace I miss
how I long for when we were
Time is my enemy, though
for it moves slow as honey
but sweet memories of your kisses
remain my true company
One heart, one mind we’ll be
and I’ll see life in color again
for now, my head lies on your pillow
with love for you I can’t explain
