Close To You

by Ann Hampton - Pisces

The other day I drove close to where you were,
But not clsoe enought to touch or talk,
Not a word was spoke or heard,
Though I heard your voice in every step of my walk.

You're with me in everything I do,
Everyday of my life since I met you.
It makes me a better person and life a better place,
And it also puts a smile on my face.

To Have you,
To know it is true,
All I want is to be a part of you,
And in order to do that, I need to be close to you.

For now, we can't talk or touch--
Just through a keyboard.
And until we can be together again,
I consider that one of life's little rewards.

I don't like ti this way either,
But I'd rather be friends than not.
Why did you have to be so mean
The last time that we talked?

I've never been mean;
I've never used you.
I just wanted things to work.
I jsut wanted things to work out 
Between me and you.

It seems you are hurt now
That things didn't work out.
I just wanted you to be happy,
So I left without.

Without a question,
Without you by my side,
I wanted to stay,
But you pushed me from your side.

You told me she would make you happy,
And I believed you,
So I gave you a chance 
To find out that that wasn't true.

I ried to tell you;
You just couldn't see
That your life couldn't go on--
WIthout me.

Without me by your side,
You mind taunts your every thought.
Your heart is in misery
Because my memory, your mind has caught.

Your mind thinks of me,
And now you're missing me still.
Your words show you pain,
And your tears show the rain.

I want so much to be by your side,
To comfort your pain.
I want so much to stop your pain,
To stop the rain.

I want you to think of me
In a positive way.
Without pain, without rain,
I want to be close to you.
