Yesterday

With Closed Eyes

With closed eyes I can see
you sitting there, next to me.
 
You take my hand with ease,
and with your eyes you tease.
 
I can't resist your touch,
or smile that says so much.
 
Words of love, whispered here,
put aside all I fear.
 
with open eyes, you're gone,
but my dream lingers on.
