So oft’ I close my eyes and you are there,
Just like the many times within my dreams.
That you may not be near is hardly fair,
This life is much more lonely than it seems.
But with you or without I see it clear,
For once my fragile heart may slow its pace.
I think much better now that you are here,
And smile each time I see your lovely face.
The details never cease to leave my mind,
A glance or kind remark and I feel shy.
If you could see my thoughts I’m sure you’d find,
I think of you just as the clouds do sky.
My future once a known feels so unsure.
But I should hope to see you evermore.
