sometimes

Sometimes I close my eyes

And all I see is your face

Burning brightly in the shadows of the night

Sometimes I lie awake

Aching for your sweet touch

Missing your strong embrace

Sometimes I fall asleep

Only to awaken

With your tender name on my lips

Sometimes I stare at your picture for hours

Dreaming it was really you

Desiring your body next to mine

And the gentle kisses you give

Tears streaming down

From pain filled eyes

Sometimes I hear your voice

Echoing from out of the dark

Calling me to you

Sometimes I close my eyes

And I see your face

Telling me to be strong

Soon you will be near

And I will be safe

Wrapped tightly in your arms
