Time makes you a better lover <br />It's the absence of love that does so <br />Not the frequency, you know… <br />To know how fragile love really is <br />To know how rare it is <br />To crave it's feeling <br />To crave it's passion <br />But the absence of love… <br />The loneliness <br />The hardship you face <br />Makes you humble <br />Makes your heart dream and race <br />Makes you care a bit more about others <br />Makes your feel more longing <br />Makes you more forgiving <br />Better at giving and better at living <br />Time makes you a better lover <br />As your dreams fall away <br />Or go astray <br />But one dream stays <br />and becomes more clear <br />If you do find love…… <br />You'll wish for them to be near <br />Time will make you a better lover <br />There is more to love than making love <br />Under the cover <br />Closeness will be closer <br />The hands will grasp tighter <br />The kisses will be more tender <br />The tears will be few <br />And if you cry I’ll catch them for you <br />The smiles will come more naturally <br />The tenderness will be true <br />Time will have made you a better lover <br />Knowing this is so <br />I wait only for it to finally show <br />Because we have love to share before we go<br /><br />JAMES T.
