I Find That I Want You

I Find That I Want You

I think that you have

Taken up residence

Inside my head

And there are times

When I close my eyes

That I want to live there

Instead

You appear at random moments

When I am running

Going fast

Yet getting nowhere at all

You push me forward

Just by being near

I am running

With nowhere to go

You come to me at night

As I lay awake

In darkness and silence

And when I roll over

It is your arms

Your solid strong arms

That I feel

Surround me

As I shut my eyes

And dream

Your presence comforts me

I want your voice

As encouragement

Pushing me on 

When I don't have the will 

to go any further

I want your body

As a blanket 

That shields me in the night

The warmth and security

That lulls me back to sleep

I want you as a thought

Those moments that make me pause

And live outside my head

And if possible 

For just a moment 

To go live in yours

Instead
