Embrace

All we want is for someone to embrace us

When the walls of our existence start crumbling

All we want is for someone to embrace us,

When the darkness in the path is never ending,

All we want is for someone to embrace us,

When the world has drifted away,

All we want is for someone’s embrace,

To touch our souls, in the most soothing way

For no amount of words can take the place,

Of the silent loved one’s silent embrace.
