Trying to hold on to the Day

To the soft touch of your hand The gentle caress of your love I whisper, for Words which have no meaning are often the sweetest The flutter of your eye lashes betray that you are awake And i reach out to touch you To make sure you are not a dream You give in to your hunger As you leap on me Causing a cascade of blankets To slither down our bodies and expose our secrets Laughter and love fill this moment Like a sunbeam reaching through the window to fill the room And i don't want to let you go I have not had my fill of loving you You're dancing away with the wind And my hands come back empty As i stretch to grasp you You have disappeared once again Like the sun in the night you are invisible You are lighting the moon But i can no longer touch you I strain to hear your words Because something is better than nothing at all I call to you in my dreams Can you hear me? I miss your body, your heart and your soul And i beg with words that simply aren't clear Maybe you can understand them And find your way to me But you are always so far Your fingertips just out of reach So i shall miss you And it will always be night until you return
