Never Let Go

Never Let Go

My head is pounding

I can hardly breathe

When I want you

Like I do right now

I need your arms

Squeezing around me

Refusing to let go

Never let go

My bed is so empty

Without your contented sighs

I cling to your pillow

To protect me from the pain

I loved you so much

And though it's warm tonight

I'm frostbitten in this bed

I can never let go

I've read your letters

More times than I can count

Polished apologies, pretty remorse

Such prose soothes the scars

But distant words cannot take

The place of your touch

If you could touch me now

And never let go...
