If absence makes the heart grow strong,
you should really love me now,
for I haven't seen you for so long,
even though I still know how.
How I've missed your bedroom smile,
and your eyes of cobalt blue,
and even though it's been awhile,
since I've made my bed with you,
I still long to hold your feet,
against my chest and heart,
if it's only for a single beat,
before we come apart.
If I've blown my changes,
by waiting for too long,
to resume our midnight dances,
and to sing a moonlight song,
you should know I'll always love you,
if our song's been played and sung,
and if the last time was the last time,
to feel desired and young.
O, how I've missed your bedroom smile,
and the eyes I long to see,
But if absence makes the heart grow strong,
You should be
in love
with me.
