With Eyes Shut Tight

With Eyes Shut Tight

With eyes shut tight
I see his face so clear
His smile, his eyes
The way he combs his hair

With eyes shut tight
I hear him breathing near
My senses are intense
I feel that he is here

With eyes shut tight
The world is just we two
Sharing hopes and dreams
Just like we used to do

With my eyes open wide
I quickly realise
I only fantasise
With eyes shut tight
