You're Giving Me Such a Rush

The air was stirring at half past five

While we lay still side by side

But then you asked me that fateful question

And my blood started pulsing

 

Through my veins and to my heart

That beat fast and loud

And said yes to this new start

I could hear you smile as if it had a sound

 

And with that you fingers twisted through mine

As our souls intertwined

Tell me you’ll never dare to leave

Because I need you here with me

 

More than you know

Say you’ll mean it

I’ve left so much with you

And have so much more to give

 

Baby I miss you

But I’ll see you in my dreams

I’ll see you soon

Just thinking of you drives me crazy it seems

 

What did I ever do to deserve this?

Tonight I’ll lie awake and remember how

The words that came from your mouth were perfectly flawless

And I’ll be at home in the clouds

 

Yet every passing second without your sight

Is a chance for the night air to become even colder

But I’ll fill the empty spaces as a sign

To show you how much you really are

 

The stars begin to fade away

As the sudden rain pours down on cement

The storm welcomes me hopefully to see your face

Somewhere out there as I become drenched

 

My fingers shake and my skin loses color

But far away I hear your voice

Muffled by water, shattered by thunder

You’re giving me such a rush

 

There’s no time to waste

Only for you will I run through the stabbing rain

My crashing heartbeat sounds out the thunder

As your warm smile brings back my color

We’ll say goodbye to the terrible pain

 

Lead me back into your arms

Don’t ever let go

It hurts too much to be apart

So keep me warm, it’s my only hope.

Quite a statement of love and how good it feels, yet how much we fear to lose it.

The pain and the joy, very poignant.

I like your use of the rain near the end.

I really like this, you did a really good job on it. It almost seems like it could be a song.
The flow is nice, and I loved the words you choice to express the feelings in this.
Great work!
