Within the fabric of my mind,
I hold you close to me.
I hold you with these loving arms,
But where no one could see.

I feel your body touching mine,
And feel our beating hearts,
And as I do here in my thoughts,
I know we'll never part.

For here within my fantasy,
There is no need to fear,
For in my mind, you love me too,
And make it very clear.

I think I'm very lucky that,
My thoughts you cannot read,
Because within are fruits of love,
That fill my inner need.

And if you knew the fullness of,
The things I long to say,
Then here within the real world,
You'd turn and run away.

And so it is, I stay within
The fabric of my mind.
Where love is safely given and
Where no one else can find.
