Beautiful words

Look again, and see how much I need you
Watch the long nights that I lie here awake.
No, I am wrong: the distance between us
Will not let me live to see you again.
.

Being alive is a trespass without you.
Without you, what life can this living be?
Light of my life, each lifetime that passes
Without you is death; that's living for me.
.

At times we are hidden, at times revealed
We are Muslims, Christians, Jews
of any race. Our hearts are shaped like any human heart,
But every day we wear a different face.
.

I whispered an offer softly in the ear of your playful heart.
I closed my mouth and spoke to you in a hundred silent ways.
You know what's on my mind, you've heard my thoughts,
And now, what I described to you last night, I'll do today.
.

Excuse me if my cries fill the sky.
Excuse me if I flood the plains with tears.
You're my life, and I'm running for my life.
Excuse me if my life drags in the rear.
