WHILE YOU ARE AWAY

Author: Christopher

I can't be with you today 
but if you close your eyes and think; 
I'll be beside you in the kitchen 
wearing your shirt - standing by the sink. 

I'll be with you in the bedroom 
waiting quietly on your bed; 
Just close your eyes and think of me, 
relive those memories in your head. 

I'll stand by you in the bathroom, 
an unlikely place to meet; 
I'll smile at you so playfully 
as I let you brush my teeth. 

I'll be your light in the darkness, 
shining steady through and through; 
You only have to watch it glow 
to know I think of you. 

I'll be the music that you listen to, 
I'll be there in every song: 
I'll laugh with you and sing with you, 
and comfort you when your day's gone wrong. 

I'll be the wind that ruffles your hair, 
I'll be that warm embrace; 
I'll be the hand on your shoulder, 
I'll be the tender touch on your face. 

I'll be the clock gently ticking, 
reminding you of the times; 
We've shut the rest of the world outside 
we're in our own world - yours and mine. 

I'll be the moon as it dances 
on the water cold and still; 
For I have loved you always 
and I know I always will. 

Though you may not see me physically 
as you live your life today; 
Just close your eyes and think of me 
I will not be far away.
