Fog

I see you standing there through the fog looking at me 
Your eyes never leave my face 
What are you seeing?
What are you looking at?
You see me standing here in the mist but you don't come no closer
I can feel that you want to come to me but something's holding you back
Don't you want to hold me in your arms ? 
Don't you want me baby?

Mystery guy come to me 
Clear all this fog in your wake 
I want you 
My body achs for you 
There's so much space between us
Filled with this fog and mystery
Why do you just stand there letting the fog swallow you?

I cry out for you
to run but you just stand there like a statue 
Mystery guy come to me 
Don't stay here in this fog

I'm trying to come to you but someones holding me back
I can see that I'm starting to lose you to the fog
Even though I don't know you 
I can't bear to lose you

It feels as though Iv known you my whole life
Who are you mystery guy?
Fight don't give into the fog
stay with me

Pls wait till the fog lifts, and then reason with a clear picture in mind :) the obscure always intrigues, but who knows what lies hidden behind the fog? congrats. // paul

Welcome to the site. I know you will like it here. This is a bit of a mysterious write. You don't know the identity of this guy, but you want him to come closer. Do you trust him? With a few corrections of misspelled words and the replacement of "no" for "any" in the double negative appearing in your fifth line, you would have a very viable write.
