for as long as i've realized
i knew i wanted your face
to be close to mine, to hear your breath
to be my saving grace

for now i know i love you
body, mind, and soul
i'd love to see your face,
and i'd love your hand to hold

and though i've never felt your touch,
and you've never been near my point of grasp
i know i want you close
and i hope someday we cross paths

i long to have you close to me,
feel the warmth of your body against mine
i need you no more than to be close to me,
feel our hearts quickly beating in time

because, you see, i know it's clear
i want nothing more than you
to have and to hold you close to me
and i know that i mean it so true
