Wrap me in your embrace

Please be my saving grace

Shield me from the cruelties I don't want to face

Take me to a better place

Where we can count the stars late at night

Where we can watch the beautiful pale moonlight

See the waves crash upon the shore

Draw imaginary pictures on the floor

I feel you wrap your arms around me

And for a minute I forget what is meant to be

I can smell your faint cologne

Reminding me how I felt so alone

As I place my head on your chest I hear the faint beat of your heart

Even if this means we're world apart

I close my eyes trying to hold on a minute longer

Wishing it was somehow different that I was somehow stronger

Trying to capture every memory and store it away

For when I need it again someday

I chance a peak and open my eyes

I see before me endless skies

I gulp but look to my right

And I almost jump up in fright

Your dark eyes seem lost without a home

I realize I'm not the only one who felt so alone

You pull me close afraid to let go

Shielding from everything I don't want to know

You bury your face in my hair

And every part of me becomes aware

How we fit together

Never to be separated ever

Like two missing pieces that fit perfectly

Our love was meant to last for eternity

You pull back and flash me that smile

And I know that this will only last a while

You whisper you love me

I look at you longingly

And whisper I love you back

But I know it won't make up for what I lack

I mess how warm you felt when your hands intertwined

I remember the joy I felt when I knew I would find

I've know it ever since we first kissed

Like a drop of rain unmissed

Like the cold unforgiving mist

Like the sun rises and falls

Like the birds heed its call

I see the first shadows of light

And although I wish it with all my might

I know for now we must say goodbye

Even though I'll always wonder why

I feel a tug on my hand and I turn to look

You look so forlorn my core you shook

Our eyes meet

And we don't even need to speak

Our love will always cross boundaries and transcend time

Just like I know I will always be yours and you will always be mine
