I could

use your touch as the memories come to my mind

and the tears begin to fall.

Moving forward alone just doesn’t seem so possible right now

so hold me close and give me the comfort I need so much lately.

I want to get lost inside my thoughts but the truth and reality is too strong

I can’t pretend that everything is okay right now.

I know that I need to have the joy and love that will outweigh the sorrow I feel

so come to me and wrap me up inside your arms and hold me until I stand on my own.

And even then still hold my hand and guide me through the things I’m still not strong enough to deal with right now.
