Hold Me For A While

Just Let Me Hold You

by Josh Krajcik

Hold Me For A While

I am a full grown woman

And I can make it on my own

I've spent most of my life that way

A warrior, aloof, alone.

But what is life if no one needs you?

 And you don't need anyone?

Then this life has lost it's meaning

And there's no room for love or fun.

You have to let your guard down

Let someone in your heart

Eventually or you will see

Your book end before it starts.

You have to make the decision

To protect yourself or risk

Love breaking your heart by loving

Or from the love you made it miss.

Either way, at the end of the day

Whether woman, man or child

We all need the arms of others

To just hold us for a while.

I'd rather hurt by losing

Than never giving it a try

Even when your every Hello

Is followed by Goodbye.

If needing love is weakness

Then let my weakness be

I'll be the warrior tomorrow, love

If tonight, you'll just hold me.

And when it comes your time to hurt

My love will lift you high

Bare my strengthened warrior's shoulder

As a place for you to cry.

One alone is not very strong

But two entwined can be

And a three-fold cord cannot be broken

When it's you and God and me.

You may think that I am foolish

When I reveal my soul to view

But I trust you with my weaknesses

As I do the same for you.

We were not created to be alone

But to need what we don't possess

From others who need what we can give

And to those, should gladly bless.

Tomorrow, I may be a lion again

A formidable foe to fight

But I just need to know that I can let go

Here in your arms tonight.

Sometimes At Midnight

Sometimes At Midnight

Sometimes at midnight

When the world is quiet

I hear you calling

 In the night

Sometimes at noon

I hear you say

Come take my hand,

Let's run away

Sometimes at twilight

I think I feel

Your touch so tangible

I think it's real

Sometimes at dawn

I think I see

Contours of you

Lying there with me

Sometimes I hear you

Without a sound

Whispering and making

My love come down

Sometimes I feel

Your lips on mine

Seducing and driving

Me out of my mind

Sometimes I hear you

Sometimes I feel

Sometimes I see you

Just like you're real

But every day I wake

Just to feel the pain

Of finding that you

Aren't here again.

But We Don't Say Goodbye

 

But We Don't Say Goodbye

We've said a lot of things, we two

Like , 'I am so happy that I found you

Like,  you are my moon, my stars and sun

My life, my love, my only one.'

We've laughed in pain,

We've cried for joy

We've been transparent

Been shy and coy.

We've reeled love in

And gave it slack

We've run away

And then ran back.

We've fought like lions,

Cooed like a dove

Laid down our lives

For each other's love.

No matter the circumstance,

No matter the cause

We've held to the victories,

Dismissing the loss.

We've written the poetry

That brought forth the sighs

Embraced like true lovers

With tears in our eyes.

Said 'I love you forever'

Said 'I hate you right now'

Said 'I might live without you'

But I cannot see how.'

We've walked through the thunder

Hand in hand, holding fast

Danced in moonlight at midnight

Long as moonlight would last.

Been through so much, we two, together

Will go through more before we die

We say such things and some we shouldn't

But you and I don't say goodbye.
