As snow flakes fall outside
and I begin to feel the chill
I long for the moment when
once again, I am held
 
I long to hear the softness of
their voice, I miss "I love you"
I miss more, the gestures that
touch me deeper then words
 
Like the kiss that makes my
heart begin to soar so high
and the caress that makes me
melt as we become one
 
I long to see that glance, that
look to make me feel desired
I long to lay under the sheets as
I feel someone hold me close
 
I long to feel their heart beating
as I nuzzle up safe in their arms
I miss the reassurance if I feel
blue, someone will notice
 
I long for another's encouragement
for all I am and will be one day
I miss companionship, laughter and
someone to make my life complete
 
2006 could be the year I tell myself
a year of chances and love
If only I would take that chance and
open my heart and let them in
 
Until then, I'll pull this blanket closer
and dream the sweetest of dreams
I know love is real, I can feel it in my
heart, I feel it clear to my soul
