Just Me

If it’s just me and my mind 
I’ll go crazy

          I need you

If it’s just me and my heart
I won’t feel

          Hold me

If it’s just me and my dreams
I won’t sleep

          Guide me

If it’s just me and my peace
I won’t rest

          show me tranquility

 
If it’s just me and my fear
I’ll stay afraid

          Calm me

If it’s just me alone
I’m a prisoner

          Free me

Oh my goodness. I swear we have the same mind, yet you are the one that can speak it. It's great!

Jodie, This is super. You have totally captured the way I feel about my Ingrid. How sweet and perfect. You have captured love from every angle making it one eternal round. Thank you, a LOT! Lovingly, Dane
