I’m within a fingertips distance
From touching a beautiful soul
Then just as the tide recedes from the shore
You are gone
Again to the place where you shut yourself away
Shut me out from your thoughts

I have faith in you
What is in your heart
Pure and simple but bound
By ties you cannot shake
Let me in
Let me help you untie them
Be free my lovely  
Should that not mean with me
Then that is the way
I want you to know what freedom is like
For you see my darling
I crave it too.

I know you are sad, this makes me sad too.
I think you are hurting and I hurt so for you.
Trust me

I want to console you but not overcrowd.
I long just to hold you if that is allowed.
Trust me

Let me in on the demons that haunt you.
I’ll soothe your mind so there’s none left to taunt you.
Trust me

You intrigue me, you fascinate me, you frustrate,
You make me feel happy, you make me feel great.
Your kindness, your silliness, your charm and your wit.
Yet you can also be distant, you withdraw a bit.

I want to understand, I want to be there,
I'm piecing together the few things that you share.
I get it's not simple, there's stuff I don't know.
I’ll be your friend when you need me, help you up if you're low.

Be honest, be open, be free around me
I cannot define it but think you'll agree
We connect on some level, I've never had...

Something so beautiful happened today
That needs to be written while fresh in my mind.
Never before have I felt such a warmth
From a person so tender, so caring and kind.

The touch of his hand resting there  on my shoulder,
A moment of closeness I’ll never forget.
Unspoken connections filled the whole room,
The fact that he left is my only regret.

So easy and natural we are with each other,
A stroke of my neck, a brush of my side,
A kiss as we part and a feeling of sadness,
Elation I’m feeling but having to hide.
