              <text>My heart aches within from missing you,&#13;
My lips long for the feel of kissing you,&#13;
Right now all I need is to gently touch your skin,&#13;
To look into your eyes and see deep within,&#13;
Just one warm embrace,&#13;
Just to look upon your face,&#13;
Just one little touch,&#13;
From the one I love so much,&#13;
If I could gaze upon your smile,&#13;
For just a little while,&#13;
To know that you miss me too,&#13;
As I'm thinking of you,&#13;
To hear the sound of you breathe,&#13;
Knowing you'll never leave,&#13;
To see you walk up to me,&#13;
Then embrace you tenderly,&#13;
To just be with the one who's sent my heart reeling,&#13;
And brought about this downpour of emotion and feeling,&#13;
I sit here alone in my office tonight,&#13;
And pray that somehow this all turns out right,&#13;
I've never been one to do more taking than giving,&#13;
I'm not well off but I work hard for a living,&#13;
I've told you many thoughts that weren't borrowed or bought,&#13;
And in lifetime, who would have thought,&#13;
That I have found someone who was just meant for me,&#13;
I can't explain the magic or why this should be,&#13;
But there is one thing that I know for certain,&#13;
That this just ain't over till one of us draws the final curtain,&#13;
For I've seen an angel and I want you to know,&#13;
If it's my choice to make, I'll never let you go,&#13;
Don't know what life holds, maybe there's no reason or rhyme,&#13;
To think you may be mine in a matter of time,&#13;
And though I cannot touch you and we are now apart,&#13;
My Love, you do dwell, so deep within my heart.</text>
