I dream of you
But do not come too close
And do not think of needing me too much
For that is something I had to bury
A long long time ago
Yes I love to feel your touch
But not so much that I will feel
Held down
Pressed in
No longer
Enabled to freely live
As you can see
It will not be easy
To love and live with me
But I pray you will find the patience
As I work out how
to love and give
while staying in touch
what it is
I truly need to live my life
without once again
losing myself
