Just Because

Just because there was a limited access to truth
Does not mean there was an interruption declaring my love for you
I have had all the opportunity in the world to express myself
Self just got in the way, dern self

I know I need you
I want you 
I desire every part of you
What happened is not because of you

It is me and I confess I was riding on the train of despair
I know you said you have rode this ride and you care
What am I to do but express it now, reveal it to you
I had to sit back add ingredients to this soup

This delicatessen savor substance of you I need
I smell you when I am asleep
Holding you, you close connected tight fitted sheets
I do miss the sweet flavor of your kiss

I miss, I do miss 
I may studder a little when I write these words
I am jilted tilted toss leaning toward the curb
As I drive I can hear you and the words caressing my ears

How they have helped me, love covered these fears
Wiped every tear
I know I have caused you to shed 
I come now to you no other instead

Here I am, I am here, love lifted it all
I am here, I apologize not answering your call
Can I say, will you accept this now?
Me being here confessing how

My life will never be complete without you
I never hold it in any longer
I need you
I desire you
I love you
