What I feel in you

When I am away from you I cry,
when you are sad I feel your pain.
When you love me you love me well,
when I hurt it’s for you.
I have never known this kind of feeling before,
all of my thoughts are of you and me.
Never in a world so full of pain,
could I ever believe in true love.
Now I know I was wrong,
in you I have a truth so deep.
There are questions and fears inside,
but nothing we can’t get through.
I love you with a heart so fragile and cold,
you warm me up with a touch of your love.
I was so afraid to hold you before now,
now I am afraid to not hold you right now.
I love you and I feel this only when I am with you,
never a second passes by that I am not with you now.
All of my fears are so empty when I am holding you so close,
your body up against mine as we sleep and dream together.
I feel you breathe life into my dying soul,
your kiss heals my pain and I cry for you.
Nothing has ever been everything to me,
not even the life that I lived alone.
I see in you the same dreams shared under the same sky,
our mother paints our eyes in blood, our father burn the day away.
You are my lover in the morning as the sun takes the cold from us,
bleeding in the desires of our heart now in love with one.
I cherish every moment we have and I know in time I will hold you,
I cry when you cry, I hurt when you hurt, I love the way you love me.
