If only you know just how I feel
Know that though we're not apart this pain is still real.
To know the joy of loving you every day of my life
To expect you home after a hard day of strife.
To always count on you to be there whenever I call
Know you're right behind me to catch me if ever I fall.
To close my eyes at night and feel secure knowing you're near
Ensure you're safe and warm embrace if ever I get a nightmare.
To turn and explain my troubles about the world
Let you know that I hope our baby is a girl.
Place your hands to feel every time she moves
And hear you whisper love to our baby's bumps and grooves.
The feel of your breath lingering on my neck as I sleep
The reassurance that things are alright when I begin to weep.
The glitter in your eyes when you look at me
To feel the admiration that your eyes canâ??t seem to believe what it see.
My eyes fill with water when you talk of our child
Helplessly waiting I can see your mind is beguiled.
Praying for a little one you can love as your own
Cradling my body at night you feel at home.
Praising my body even as I complain
Telling me I'm a priceless jewel that you've attained.
You've never seen a woman with a figure like mine
I'm pregnant yet still serene and sublime.
To know now that I can't hear it every day
I'm not sleeping in your arms hard even now to say.
We will only see each other for a minute or so
In the same direction we no longer will go.
I'm by my grandmother you by your aunt
We sleep in different beds because thatâ??s what they want
We live unhappy to please the world
I miss you already
