Holding you

 

 



When you reach for me 



in the middle of the night



or in the wee hours 



of the morning



That is when i feel happiest



Because you are free



Because you are vulnerable



Nevertheless



you still reach out to me



no time to analyze the situation



no time to think about the pros and cons



no contrivance



Just understanding what you want



what you need



You just want to be close to me



because you know



that i care ABOUT YOU



Want to feel the softness



the warmth



the tenderness



the intimacy



My heart fills with JOY



when you do this



SO spontaneously



so naturally



without thinking about any consequences



so spontaneously



SO naturally



without thinking about any consequences



because you feel safe with me



because you feel safe with me



It AWAKENS my mind



raises it to a higher level



So sincere and loving



it means more to me



than any words that you could say



reach for me



When you are somewhere 



between night and morning



between consciousness and sleep



reach for me



My heart will soar



because it's just you and me 



between the sheets



in the still of the night



No noise to distract



No noise to stifle



the heartfelt joy i will feel 



bursting inside me 



when i hold you close to my heart



when i hold you close to my heart 



in the still of the night
