The Nearness of You

My thoughts are you thinking of you this night

Although the miles keep us apart

This distance embeds me wondering what it would be like to hold you tight

To know what is inside your soul deep into your heart

To understand this feeling

I cannot ask I know you are confused asking yourself what you could do

However this compassion, wishing and hoping to see

Just to feel the nearness of you

Sadness for not being able to hear your voice

Near enough to know if this is real

Such a happiness when we talk

For the thought of what I could share with you

The tender thoughts you feel

As my body aches

For the nearness of you

I long to hear your voice...feel your touch

Your arms wrapped together in mine

To see your face

As I feel your embrace

All this time we are given

To make love worth trying again
