Open Arms

Open Arms

I want you
I need you
By my side is where you belong

My arms are open
For you my love
My arms are waiting
To hold you tight

Each night I yearn
For you by my side
Each night I wish
I was your wife

My soul is on fire
For your love
My body is yearning
To feel your tender touch

Your flesh against mine
In the middle of the night
Each of us collapsing
From ecstasy delight

Instead it’s just a dream
Only a spark
For in reality
We remain worlds apart
