The anticipation is building
Until my eyes can drink you in -
To end the dehydration
And force these cracked lips into a grin.
Thoughts of you are my life-rafts
In this unforgiving sea,
That tries to pull me under
But you won't allow to succeed.
A glimpse of you is all I need
To gain consciousness again,
But your touch would bring me back to life -
An electric jolt against bare skin.
How or why you affect me this way,
I doubt I'll ever know -
But I'm glad it's you who keeps me
From melting away like the snow.
