When I Close My Eyes

When I close my eyes, I see your smile
No matter where you are or how many miles
It’s always there for only me to see
Bringing me hope when I’m in need

When I close my eyes, I taste your lips
Pressed deep to mine in true love’s grip
With a single kiss you fill my soul 
Lifting me up when I’m feeling low

When I close my eyes, I hear your voice
An angelic sound makes my heart rejoice
Strong and pure full of love and purpose
Guiding me home as my heart’s compass

When I close my eyes, I smell your hair
A sweeter scent never touched the air
I long to be near you and your love within
You are my rose I need to breathe in

When I close my eyes, I feel your embrace
Driving my blood to pump and heart to race
Your simple touch sends chills down my spine
You are my love, my lady, for all of time

When I close my eyes, you are always there
Trusting in your love my heart laid bare
Call it what you will, destiny, karma, fate
Makes no difference I’ve found my soulmate
