Smiles held in the heart

Smiles held in the heart
Smiles held in the heart

Compensatory Pause



I'm caught between love and loneliness
I could linger in your embrace all night
Yet I wake alone and wishing for sleep 
Solace in the absence of light

Thinking sucks me into my mind 
Recalling the smile on your face
The photo proves it was there
Impossible to picture time or place

If I heard your voice it would echo 
Bouncing from my mind to my ear
I listen to the silence and wish
There was something that I could hear

I'm caught up in your spirit
I can feel the breeze on me
My mind feels weighted and heavy
My heart can't yet be free

Help me know you are with me 
As much as I long for you to be
The time between heartbeats is where I will tuck you
Come and go safely with me
