Away

I wish I could go to you,

just sit near you as you paint

or lay in one of your beds and read

until you come back to me,

rest your head

against my chest

or pull me close,

wrap your arms around me

 

Cos I can't offer

to take away your problems

but I can offer a moment

I can offer a hand,

on your back

against your cheek

and a smile

 

I can offer

a moment

to rest

 

a moment

to breathe

 

a moment

away

 

I wish I could give you

this moment

and I can't wait

for the day that I can
