What words can I say to describe
The feeling I get when you’re near?
How can someone else understand
How much I need you to be here?
What words could I speak to express
The joy I feel when I’m with you?
You bring such pleasure each night
With everything you do.
What words could I use to explain
The pain in my heart when you’re gone?
There are none I know to exist.
Please say you won’t leave me alone.
