With the gentleness of a warm Summer breeze
Your memory comes to fill my every thought
And I can feel you here beside me
though I lay in quiet solitude
The light I have seen shine in your eyes
Can seem to charge the air itself
And I wonder at its beautiful glow
though I lay in total darkness
The song that I have heard in your laughter
Seems to whisper from every corner
And my heart leaps with joy at its sound
though the room remains in silence
In these moments alone I’ve come to know how near you are
And how near you are is… within me
For I’ve opened my heart and you’ve come inside
Only to add richness to my life… not to take of it
So I share with you the gifts of life and truth
For the strongest truth is love… and I love you
