Longing

I see you here,

In my dreams.

I hold you here,

In my arms.

I touch you here,

In my memories.

Where are you now?

I can't see.

Whenever I try to reach,

I lose you, oh please.

I am afraid,

Of losing you,

Of being apart,

From you.

Please be mine,

And stay here,

Forever.

I am scared,

Of letting you go,

Of holding you though,

From the screams,

Remind me of my fear,

Confined in,

Only my nightmares.

Oh my beloved,

I am fearless,

I set you free,

From all the shackles,

I bounded you with,

For now, I know,

Love is not fear,

Love is the courage,

To hold it in grip,

To hold it in dreams.
