Elleanor Eng - The Things About Him

Why can’t they understand?
That all I need is you?
And that’s the end of that?
There’s nothing else I will except.
There’s no one else that I’ll love this way.
I hear you call my name everyday.
I hear your gentle breath on my neck.
I feel your tender hands on my back.
I feel your shy arms around my body.
I smell the musk of your flesh.
I smell love O so near.
I love your open face.
I love your shining eyes.
I hate, that this moment can’t last forever.
I hate, knowing we will part on the morrow.
I sink into your gentle kisses.
I sink into your soft love.
I’ve been waiting for this love forever.
I’ve been waiting my whole life for you.
And when you leave,
I spend my whole day,
Waiting for you to come back,
And love me again.
I adore your loving words.
I adore your ringing voice.
I’m lost in your happy laugh.
I’m lost in your loving smile.
I know now:
That it’s you that makes me wake each day.
That it’s you that makes life worth living.
And that it’s you that stole my hear,
And I know I‘ll never get it back,
But I don‘t want my heart back,
I want you to stand by me,
Far beyond forever…
