open the door, and go in after me
squeeze my hand and catch my eye
keep me on my toes.
have the insight to know when i want to talk
and the patience to endure my silence until i do.
know how i like my coffee and how i take my tea
and that you're always on my mind.
lay your body beside mine and know
that i love the warmth of your skin.
hold my hand, and catch my tears
with a brush of your fingertips or with a kiss.
when my limbs grow heavy and my body weak,
wrap your arms around me and take me home.
