When I close my Eyes

When I close my Eyes

A Poem by Renette Hollow

When I close my eyes, I see you. 
Always think about you, I do
I miss you, I can't wait to see you
The days seem so long without you
Than the days, the nights are longer
Every moment my love for you is stronger
I feel the ghost of your arms around me
And in my dreams, it is with you I be. 
You're always there inside my mind
My love for you, it has truly shined
Everything I was looking for, I've found
I can feel how much you love me, without sound
I thought  that I'd be more scared than this
But you chase all my fears away with a kiss
My heart beats so fast when I see you
You smile and I don't know what to say or do
But I reach out and take your hand in mine
And you grin as together our fingers twine
I can barely breathe when you're touching me 
I know my face is red, you laugh when you see
Just your arm looped around my waist
I have to say it, I have to tell you
I'm so very deeply in love with you. 
I don't know how it happened, or why
I'm surprised at us, because I'm so shy
I was sure that I wouldn't tell you how I feel
But here I am, and what we have is real
My heart skips a beat when I hear your voice
I hurt people, but I know I've made the right choice
I don't have much to offer you, 
But when I close my eyes, I see you.
