Before I can close my eyes My mind paints a picture of you So I may forever envision your face For my vision of you is all I have Until I am in the presence of your warm embrace Could it be you mean everything to me? Or should I sum this up as just a dream For you are neither here nor there Eyes wide open and I cannot find you anywhere But with eyes wide shut I see you clear as day Even then, I cannot find the right words to say You see the mere thought of you Makes my stomach turn with anticipation One second without you makes me feel As if I've been forever waiting
