Near Me
It’s been a long time coming
But the moment has finally arrived
I see no more reasons to hesitate
Hesitation seems eternal – every moment
Of hesitation equals a full day that I am blind
With each passing day
Unhappiness and sorrow stampedes my chest
But the sight of your beautiful eyes and warm gentle smile
Eases the discomfort that has my heart oppressed
With every touch of your soft, smooth hands…
My soul and heart flies gracefully free
You can never imagine the things you do, the effects
You cause, the emotions you stir,
Each moment you are near me
