Analysis of Awaiting true intimacy
Holly Flame Maxey 1976 (baltimore)
My heart, my soul, my inspiration
When you are near me
Or thoughts of you enter my mind
I feel complete ecstasy
I feel like I am living in a dream
No reason to wake up
Even after you leave my love
Always you will be with me
Thinking of you drives my actions
Dreaming of you makes this life
unending utopian experience
When I look into your eyes
I see my future
I see the best version of myself
Every day and every night I pray
That our paths never part
I feel like my life
Is driven by my desire to be near you
My thoughts sweeten as days pass
My mind becomes heaven
