i long to hear your voice whisper to me
that everything's ok
even when it isn't
i long to not only sing with you,
but to be a song with you
i want to come to you for shelter
when i'm caught in the storm
and find peace in your eyes
i long to have you hold me when i cry
and to protect me when i say i'm afraid
i long to lean my head against your chest
and listen to your heart beating with mine
as I drift into sleep in the safety of your arms,
holding me close to you.
