I am missing your affection, your touch
I am missing your kindness as much
The here and now is not so very kind
That’s why I have you on my mind
I have been around knowing you well
I would rather experience you than tell
I can imagine how it would be
I would rather not have to see
Having your genuine intimacy
How good that would really be
I have to imagine it for tonight
‘Cause you have taken alight
I was created this way I suppose
Like the words and meaning I write
It comes from somewhere, even prose
Even though I try hard as I might
I just enjoy the closeness of one
That likes more than having fun
Two is better than one can be
Much more enjoyable to me
Of course together can’t always be
At times one has to other things to see
But the longing is what I feel today
Hoping closeness is sooner than you say
Who am I talking about you might wonder
I know I am caught in a spell I am under
I long for what goodness I have known
For the loving tenderness you have shown
I have been so lucky to have found love
The kind that is like it comes from above
But on Earth it is more than true
That I love sharing intimacy with you
Love is more than a feeling we share
Love is needed just as much as air
And like when we must always breath
It’s really better when we don’t leave
Who am I talking about you might wonder
I know I am caught in a spell I am under
I long for what goodness I have known
For the loving tenderness you have shown
Maybe it was not always with me
But with you I would rather be
A longing does not compare
Than when you are really there
I just enjoy the closeness of one
That considers sharing touch fun
Two is better than one can be
Much more enjoyable to you and me
Our minds are made more calm
Because our touching is like a balm
With loving feelings we can share
More love than some will think fair
So together we should really be
I hope you see what I see
We both enjoy the real touch
And not like the separation so much
Hey uh, hey oh
Love love
Hey uh, hey oh
Love love, it’s true
