Needing Your Love Near

Within the darkness of the night
When blackness fills the room
The only light is from the stars
The only smile is from the moon

My emotions slowly come alive
And my dormant thoughts arise
Finding them becoming realities
As your sweet image I visualize

While you sleep I watch you lovingly
Praying a time will never come to be
A moment when you stop loving me
A time when you might want to leave

For all the goodness one could ever find
In life is wrapped deep within your heart
Its value I will ever need close to me
So this genuine happiness will not depart

I pray inwardly and so very silently 
To my lord who answers sincere prayers
That I might receive his favorable grace  
Allowing your love to always be near.
