In the middle of doing taxes ... (broken concentration) ... First things, first!!

When I lay down at night and tears come
It is not because I don't have love, or a heart full of love
It is not because I don't know the person of whom all this shines
Rather, it is because another day has passed
And I feel cheated out of
The physical security of arms wrapped around me
To bring me into another waking day
Waking to the knowing of strong brown eyes

You know what dries those tears?

My heart.  All it feels.  What it knows, that no one else knows.
On those nights,
My very last waking seconds in the darkness
Are of feel, not thought
I have been in your arms
I know peace and belonging
I hear that my eyes are beautiful
And that I am everything that you could want

"If only a different place and time" is starting to wear thin...
What we have, is now ...
And I predict "now", will go on and on and on
