Untitled-4 8-27-05

In many  nights I have  cried
Longing for your  presence
Wanting you by  my side
Aching for your essence
I lay awake tonight 
Longing for your love
To make me feel just  right 
Knowing your voice isn't enough
I hold steadfast  to you 
Feelings so  immense
I can't stand to be without you 
Waiting  on release
Waiting on your touch alone
The brush of your  fingertips
The texture of you alone
The taste of your lips
My  body aches for you 
My  soul craves your attention
I just  want to  be  with  only  you 
To relieve it  from  this  detention.
