Soul Reveal

I cannot believe how many times
I shy away from the look in your eye
I cannot count how many tears I end up giving
In order to console my soul inside
I cannot find enough minutes to grab a hold
And lay you by my side
I cannot figure out the love you give
And yet from you, I always seem to hide

I'm captivated by your heightened sense
And blown away from your judgment
I ache for you on these days I am alone
What I want, what I desire, is what you behold
Your comfort blankets my aura
I wish to be near you instead of always on the phone

So you see, it's not you but instead just me
I listen and I know, yet I can't understand
I hear the thoughts, but my mind
Runs in a different land
Your tune is played out so perfectly straight
Your light fills me as if we were at heaven's gate

I cannot bring myself to show my soul
Somehow it has gotten buried
But tis' only a shallow hole
Maybe I'm hoping, maybe I'll pray
But what I really need
Is for you to dig me out

Some day

I truly lovely read. It is as if we have peaked at a love letter yet to send. We should all receive such a work of honest emotion.

I do see something for you to think on in the first stanza. Please don't think me being harsh, just something for you to mull over. The last line seems to me a bit stilted with regard to meaning. Perhaps it would work a bit better like this: "That is why, from you, I always seem to hide." Something like that. This really is a very minor point, just a thought

Where do we go from here? I'm hoping to see you get out of your shallow hole.

Sweet love. It is lovely. You have conveyed those feelings so well.
"Your comfort blankets my aura
I wish to be near you instead of always on the phone"
