Just wanted to hear your voice
Not out of choice
More like the air that I breathe
Out of clear need
That I can’t really explain
That keeps me sane

Words evaporate into thin air
As some mutely stare
Wondering much too hard
Keep up their guard
Lest they say something
They know may sting

Now’s our time to banish fear
It doesn’t belong here
Where our lives now collide
Nowhere can we hide
Except within a private prison
Devised by our derision

Honesty and love is our savior
Ruling our behavior
Needs met, with no regrets
Despite the cigarettes
1 too many, 100 not enough
Making together tough

Seems you take my breath away
In the way you sway
Always with the right reason
No matter the season
Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
In this our lifelong thrall
