I Want to Hug You

I see the moon hang low tonight

Its silver breath on a velvet tide

But all I want

All I crave

Is your warmth

Your hand to save

Every shadow screams your name

Every echo plays the same

I want to hug you

Feel your heart beat

Hold you close

Till the world retreats

I want to hug you

Make time stand still

Wrap you up

Bend the universe to my will

The streetlights hum a lonely tune

I walk these paths

But think of you

Your laughter’s ink on my skin

A tattoo I’d relive again

Every moment pulls me near

Every silence whispers clear

I want to hug you

Feel your heart beat

Hold you close

Till the world retreats

I want to hug you

Make time stand still

Wrap you up

Bend the universe to my will
