Sweet Nothings

I’d like to take you in my arms, and crush the sadness out of you.
I’d like to kiss away your tears and drink your sorrow deep.
I’d like to tell you that nothing bad can get you now.
I’d like to be the one to shelter you from all your worldly pains.
I’d like to murmur promises that I will keep you forever.
 
There’s only a few miles separating us; can you hear my heart beating for you?
