something untouched

Somewhere in the midst of this, I'll realize that I need to hold you close. And I can't believe that somewhere, this will happen, but it will. I need to feel your heartbeat, I need to feel it fill. I have a steady heartbeat, but its walls are steel and still.

(But when you spoke I felt it shudder)

And I realize now, I don't want to be without you. And I realize it now, I don't want to be alone.

Can you reach past the places where no one has reached before, and tell me you still love something this cold? So cold and shapeless, it rhymes without form. I have nothing to give but the coldness and weakness. I have nothing to give but your arms are so warm.

I've attached myself, it's relentless. And I realize now, I don't want to be without you. And I realize it now, I don't want to be alone. Can you reach past this? Can you love me still, relentless? I have a feeling that somewhere in the midst of this, I'll realize that I need to hold you close...
