Barbie Dorrough - Love Avowed

Tell me that you love me
Don't speak of it today
Tell me tomorrow
In a year, in a lifetime from now

Don't say that you want me
Show me in your gaze
Affirm it in your touch
Whisper it in the quality of my name

Hold me as if you have to
The absence of me pains
Your arms thus barren
The void and the vacancy dreadful

Have me like I'd have you
In spite of the world
Without explanation
And beyond all we could ever imagine
