Awake again at 3 am
North wind howling through the trees
I turn and touch an empty space
So in love but sick with fear
You've only been gone a little while
But my soul feels ripped in two
How did I become a helpless child
Unable to function without you
Every second of the ticking clock
Sends a chill through my heart
While my spirit cries silent tears
Because we're so far apart
I lie exhausted from the need
To be held tightly in your arms
Feel your breath fall on my face
And hear the beating of your heart
I fill my day as best I can
Your presence haunts me to the core
I just want to be one with you
Now and forevermore
