Holding you
When you reach for me
in the middle of the night
or in the wee hours
of the morning
That is when i feel happiest
Because you are free
Because you are vulnerable
Nevertheless
you still reach out to me
no time to analyze the situation
no time to think about the pros and cons
no contrivance
Just understanding what you want
what you need
You just want to be close to me
because you know
that i care ABOUT YOU
Want to feel the softness
the warmth
the tenderness
the intimacy
My heart fills with JOY
when you do this
SO spontaneously
so naturally
without thinking about any consequences
so spontaneously
SO naturally
without thinking about any consequences
because you feel safe with me
because you feel safe with me
It AWAKENS my mind
raises it to a higher level
So sincere and loving
it means more to me
than any words that you could say
reach for me
When you are somewhere
between night and morning
between consciousness and sleep
reach for me
My heart will soar
because it's just you and me
between the sheets
in the still of the night
No noise to distract
No noise to stifle
the heartfelt joy i will feel
bursting inside me
when i hold you close to my heart
when i hold you close to my heart
in the still of the night
