If you were here

by shira

If you were here
I would not be aching
From muscles trying to remember
What it feels like to touch you

And I'd never be scared
Heart beats would be regular
And a healthy decibel
I’d let you hear

If you were here
I’d be here too
Because there is some part of me
In some part of you
That with my best thinking
In your arms, in your mind, in my life, in all these times
I gave it away

So I guess we’ll have to wait
Keeping parts of the other in
Letting parts of ourselves out
To get a little closer
As the days we’ll spend together
Come a little nearer
