Away For Too Long By Kenny Davis

Away for Too Long by Kenny Davis I was surprised she said she missed me Expressed when she ran up to me and kissed me I told her that, “I couldn’t wait to see you!” About just how much I need you Oh how we waited for another intimate moment such as this Embraced in one another’s arms once again, passionately sharing love with in a kiss Absence truly makes the heart grow fonder My love for her growing each day I’m sent and stuck over yonder Sitting here alone without her I can’t help, but to ponder Why am I forced to wander without her any longer? Could it be the so that our love for one another grows stronger So our heart may sing as beautifully of that of majestic songbird If home is where the heart is and my heart is with her Why can’t my arms wrap around her tightly and nestle along her curves Instead I am here, on the tip of my nerves, wondering when, oh when, can I be with this girl The thought of being away from the woman by my side Is enough to make a grown man want to cry The mere thought of the woman I left behind Wanting nothing more than my angel before my very eyes Me without her is like a starless night without the moon A withering flower without life that can no longer bloom I want to be closer, but we can’t be further apart Depriving each other the company of one another’s heart To get to you, I’ll walk until my feet bleed Then I’ll keep on walking to get to what my heart needs To allow my spirit, my soul to be freed And that is you in my arms and yours tightly wrapped around me To imagine ever being separated from her again Would be like losing my right arm or my very best friend If we are so close when I carry her around in my heart Then when I am away from her more than an hour, why do I fall apart? To not hear the sound of her voice, nor see the smile on her face To not smell the perfume on her neck, or feel her arms around my waist To not be able to taste the kisses that drip from her lips To not feel the intimacy between us when I sensually grip her hips To not be able to cuddle her in my arms, even for one night Nothing about that, nothing at all seems right To not have her beside me at every sunrise Nor every sunset, watching the beautiful sky colors leave her eyes The pleasure of her presence, honor of her essence, will I no longer be deprived I have indeed been away for far too long, without her I wither, I would no longer survive. ©September 2011 k.davis
