I don't care what anyone thinks
it doesn't matter
when my love is breathing near my ear
whispering desires and hopes and plans we share
I could never want anything more than what he gives
he knows how to make me fall helpless and love ridden
into his arms that open so honestly
and close around me so faithfully
all I need
the breath of me
are his kisses
caresses
touch on my skin
I cannot bear this distance between us
hatefully separating me from his hands
the pressing together of our lips
and the tears he once easily wiped from my cheek
drip sadly down alone waiting for a kiss that doesn't come
and angrily desperately I grab for his love
because I worry that out-of-sight means out-of-mind
or that absence doesn't really make the heart grow fonder
and unchained melody haunts my dreams with the frantic thought
"are you still mine?"
but it doesn't scare me when my love is breathing near my ear
whispering reminding me of our desires, hopes, plans
and all I need
the breath of me
he gives
