The Urge
By: Ann M. Hampton

Every time I hear the rainfall,
It's you I want to call
To come and lay here with me,
But I fight the urge to be
'Cause right now you just can't see
Here you need to be--
With me.


Every time I see the snowfall,
I fight the urge to call
And have you here with me
To keep me warm at night,
Under the balnkets, holding me tight.
All through the night,
I fight the urge.

It's you that I miss.
The touch of your fingertips on my hips;
The soft touch of your lips 
To mine.

Where has the time gone
Since I was last in your arms?
It's that urge that I fight
When I want to pick up the phone and call,
ANd then the rain falls,
And I, again, fight the urge.

How long do I need to wait
Until you realize your big mistake?
How long will the rain last,
And how long will it take for the cold to pass?
How many urges must I fight
Until you hold me tight?

Again--
I fight the urge.

How long will it be before the sun shines,
And again, I can call you mine?
How long must I fight 
The urge?

The urge of calling you,
THe urge of being blue,
The urge of wanting to tell you, "I love you."
For now, I must fight the urge.
