Every starlit sky reminds me of you
Every starlit sky reminds me of you There were times When we just didn’t want to say anything When all we could do All we wanted to do Was rest gently in each other’s arms Your head resting on my chest My fingers stroking your hair Two deeply caring friends And we lay out in…
There will be no more distance
There will be no more distance There is a distance between here and there A gap we cannot cross Until it is time. There was a distance while you were here That kept us guessing the truth To be safe and trusting. We both understood But it hurt For we knew we wanted closeness Not…

Our little havens of rest
Our little havens of rest We would often find ways to escape In our imaginations that served us well And found places to hide away When the waves of life would ebb and swell As we held on tightly to each other Words and stories of comfort we’d tell These storms will eventually pass, we’d…
