Another cold long night apart
where holding your picture is the closest we are,
closing my eyes I can hear your voice
whispering that you love me
and to keep holding on
despite the distance and the tears.
Wondering what you're doing right now
as I trace the lines of your face
through the glass of the picture frame
and if you're thinking of me as well,
looking into your eyes looking at me
I know why I exist.
Months where we have no contact,
going to bed feeling sick each night
from not knowing if you're ok,
dreaming about what you could be facing
and what our future might be
I send up a quiet prayer.
Talking to you like you're standing close,
you're the reason for my life,
I know you're afraid you'll lose me
but baby that'll never happen,
together forever aren't just words I say
it's a promise I'll never break.
