Sometimes

Have you ever watched the sun

Rise again and set again

Then rise once more and set once more

Again and again,

Day after day

From each dawn to dusk,

From each dusk to dawn?

Have you ever watched the waves 

Ebb and flow,

Then ebb again and flow again?

Like the certainty of Nature,

Like the waning and waxing moon

My love for you also stands

Ebbing and flowing,

Rising and setting,

Waxing and waning

Day after Day

And night after night.

If I could make light

Of this bond we share

I must say it's sturdy

But sometimes it pains.

Sometimes, just sometimes

I feel if you would just

Walk in through my door,

And lie down on my bed,

And tell me when you need me

And let me show you all my care

I'd be a happier mortal,

And it's true,

Sometimes loving you

Makes me very blue.

I don't mean to be harsh,

And in all seriousness

I can't deny

That having you

In my life

Sometimes makes me want to cry.

Sometimes, just sometimes

I wish we could make love

And ease our stresses,

Blessed by God above.

And sometimes, just sometimes

When it's at you that I do gaze

I feel joy in knowing

That all your moods I can trace.

Sometimes, just sometimes

I wish I could smell you all day

And speak honestly

About all that goes through my mind

And sometimes, just sometimes

I kneel and pray because I did find

You, somewhere along the way.

And sometimes, just sometimes

I wish for many things,

And it's up to providence

Really what is willed.

Sometimes, just sometimes

I feel like leaning in

And kissing you deep

Drawing all my affections from within.

Sometimes, just sometimes

I wish I could feel you within me

In all physicality 

And all spirituality 

And live and love.

Just sometimes.
