Hold me tightly
Like you don’t want to let go
Hold me tightly
Like you know me intimately
Hold me tightly
Remember how love used to be
Before
Decades of misunderstandings
Created miles
Of invisible distance
Between us
Causing multi-faceted
Separateness
In the middle of our union
Hold me tightly
Squeeze the resentment away
Help me get back to that place
Where you were the only thing
I could see
And you were madly in love with me
