Always With Me *

I wish I could hold you,

One last time before we part,

But I cannot,

Because people might begin to talk.

I wish I could tell you,

The feelings I have inside,

But I am afraid to face them.

You make me smile,

When others cannot,

And you make me happy,

Even when I am sad.

You protect me,

From the dangers of my mind,

And you save me,

From my own darkness.

What is this,

I feel deep in my heart,

Deep in my soul?

My heart quickens,

And a grin spreads across my face.

You stand before me,

With a grin of you own.

You grab me,

And hold me,

Speaking,

Whispering in my ear,

I love you,

And I will always be here.
