-silence- for once

They say love is conquering your fears.
And I suppose I never really felt that.
But those drives on the dark winding freeway,
Certainly taught me a lot.
The only way to you was to go,
The only way home was to leave,
And the decision would always have a sense of permanence,
That no other person had.

They say that distance makes the heart grow fonder,
But in all reality, it just makes me sad.
It makes me ache for your embrace.
It doesn't make me love you more when you're with me.
It just makes me wish I always had more time.

You say you want me to spend the night,
And you don't know how badly I want to.
I dream about waking up next to you,
Feeling your body pressed against mine,
Covers strewn about.
Shivering, aching for your body heat against my chilled skin.

This hasn't been the kind of love I've known.
It wasn't instantaneous.
For you, it's been building up, bubbling over,
But for me, it's been growing, outstretching it's tendrils to the sun,
Waiting to be satisfied enough it can bloom under your rays.
And I can tell I'm almost there.
You've brought me so close.

This is the kind of love that lasts, I'm sure.
You are different than the others.
