I want you to wrap your arms around me
to help me with this pain I am feeling
in your arms I shall be safe from the storm of life
and the pain and sorrow that its
winds and rains often bring
I want you to hold me tight
so that I can believe everything will be alright
to live my life surrounded by you
the hurt and pain unable to break through
loved and held by you
I will make it
but this can be no more than a dream
for you are not here to hold me
so without you, I shall hold myself
and wait and dream
of some day living
