Still In My Heart

Just when I thought
I could live without you
I felt your eyes
Looking at me from behind the shades
I feel the same excited shiver
I try to catch your eye
But like so many times before
All I see is the flutter of movement
The smell of you surrounds me
I dance with it
Wanting to hold you
Settling for an invisible reminder
Always searching for you
In everything wonderful

In the early morning hours
Before reality invades my dreams
I feel your skin next to mine
Your warmth passes through me
Like an electric current
That flies in every direction
Then I open my eyes
To an empty room
To an empty heart
To empty arms
Yet, even at that moment
When I realize it's a dream
My eyes and mind decieve
You are still there...in my heart
