Hold Me Close

 Hold me.
Hold me close, tell me what you need and
I’ll take control
If what you want is to run with me
If what you want is to follow me
If what you want is to be there in the middle of the night
So I feel your body
And all the reasons you want to stay
Hold me.
Hold me close, I won’t let go, whisper what I need and
I’ll hold your face next to mine
If what you want is to pray for me
If what you want is to sing to me
If what you want is to be so close in the daylight
So our hands interlock
And all the reasons I want to stay are known
Hold me.
Hold me close, forehead to forehead is what we need and
I’ll pull you in, breathe your air
If what you want is to promise me
If what you want is to cry with me
If what you want is to be a part of my heart and soul
So everything is one
And all the reasons for staying spill off our tongues
Hold me.
Hold me close, so close that time doesn’t move around us
I’ll mend I promise
If what you want is me to fall with you
If what you want is me to land on you
If what you want is to show me falling is ok
So I can find all my pieces
And all the reasons that it broke are forgotten
Hold me.
Hold me close and closer still.
Hold me.
