Hold Me Close Poem by Edwina Reizer

Take me in your arms again.
Hold me close once more.
Take me in your arms again
like you've done before.

There's no other feeling dear
like your warm embrace.
You can tell how I feel
from the smile on my face.

Where can I get this feeling
when your arms are gone?
Only the memories of their touch
is what I must rely on.

They say my memories will fade away
as time moves ahead.
But what do they know of my memory?
These are just words that are said.

So take me in your arms again.
Hold me close once more.
Embrace me so I'll never forget
just like you've done before.
