Array ( [sid] => 11981 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => THESE ARMS OF MINE! [time] => 2003-02-05 13:00:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => These arms of mine are empty.
But they’re open wide for you.
I didn’t know what hit me,
When you said you loved me too.

But since you told me those words,
To my face, then on the phone,
I find I am every night and day,
For the most part all alone.

My arms are always open,
And aching to be holding you.
But since you never come there,
If I left what would you do?

If I did walk out of the door,
Would I at all be missed?
For my arms are always empty.
And my lips are seldom kissed.

The sweet pleasurable ache of longing caused by love. What a great tribute to this emotion. Keep up the passion, write from the heart and live for the dream.
