ACROSS THE ROOM

ACROSS THE ROOM

take my hand

\\//\\//\\//

Across the room,

I see you.

Just you, alone,

Alone, and yet trying.

Trying desperately,

Desperately to fit in.

//\\//\\//\\

I long to reach out –

Reach out to touch –

Touch your face,

Face to face,

To hold your hand,

Hand in hand.

//\\//\\///

Eye to eye,

Eyes meet. I feel,

Oh how I feel the want,

The want of your lips,

Lips to touch mine,

Mine alone.

//\\//\\//\\

I want your heart

Yes, your heart,

Your heart to capture,

Yes, to capture your heart –

As you did mine,

Only mine, from

Across the room.
