As I lay here alone

I long for the day when

We can be together

Together so you can protect me

From this harsh, cruel world

I would wrap my arms around your

Firm comforting body

And lay my head upon your chest

I can hear your heart beat

Like the soft beating rhythm of a drum

You stroke my hair

As I fall into your sweet embrace

I feel safe now in your arms

I wish this could last forever

Even though we are so close

we are worlds apart

Oh how I long for the day

When we can be together.
