"Close"

Whenever the wind blows, strong and fierce, I feel close to you.

Whenever a breeze blows my hair, gentle and lulling, I can feel your presence.

But when it rains, I feel even closer.

Each drop like a familiar word.

Familiar sound.

Give me a gentle word.

Every teardrop... a waterfall for you.

If it snows, I feel like I could almost touch you.

The sting of the ice on my skin, I close my eyes and...

I can feel you.

You must be near because my heart is on fire. 

The ice leaves me numb.
