Are You There Poem by James Casey

Are You There

How do I get close to you, what would it take?
Away from you always, makes my heart ache

I need to hold you close, keep you safe and near
Bring you every smile, drying every tear

I need to be close to you, beneath this star filled sky
My arms encircling you, fails not to bring a sigh

I'm under your spell, magic fills the air
My love for you is wonderous and so very rare

I love you more than life itself, thank God you came along
A love like mine, for you, is only heard in song

Come look into my loving eyes, hear me speak your name
We'll embrace, my heart will race, it always is the same

I'm waiting now, in this place, for you to come to me
Stand beside me now, I'll hold you close, for near me you must be

I see you now, the moon is out, your walking right towards me
A silhouette of love is coming, the one who holds my key

I gaze into your eyes and this, is what I see
There's love in there, looking up, love that's meant for me
