"Tonight"

But tonight, I wanted to hear your voice....
Hear you , feel you, touch you....
But instead, I'm in front of a computer, alone, 
Thinking of you and reading your words...

But looking outside
Makes me think one thing...
If you look outside too, 
We both see the same stars...

Just that I hate times like this...
And I just don't want to be alone tonight...

Trust me i know how you feel.
Don't stop... I am listening.
Telling you my feelings and fears...
I just feel comfortable talking to you...

And you want to know something...
If i didnt feel comfortable with you,
I could have never fallen asleep
In your arms.

I HATE THIS!
It's not your fault.
I just am not a solitary person anymore.

So I sit here, crying,
Not knowing what to do...

I hate to sleep alone, 
And as good as you make me feel,
I'll shut the computer off, and sleep tonight,
On a cold, empty couch...

Was just looking out the window,
Wishing I could feel your skin
And hear your voice in my ear...

(But please don't get me wrong, 
I love talking with you....
About right now though, 
I don't like the distance...)

I'm on the verge of crying again,
But ignore that,
My heart just doesn't like to be lonely, 
And right now, I feel VERY lonely....

I asked why I felt this way
And I was told,
"Cause you want to feel safe
And not alone......."

I feel safe....sometimes.  
But tonight, listening, shatterd that...  
A cold empty couch
And tonight, I have no one.

Hold on to me.
