'Closer to you' is a song by Brandie Carlile. In my mind the song is about unrequited love, about how she goes home to her beloved, embarks on a journey when he calls her.

She sings:
"And when the seasons change again then I will too
I just want to be closer to you"
"Someday we might learn to tell the truth
We might even find the fountains of our youth
We all needed something real we all need proof
I just want to be closer to you"
Beautiful lyrics. Inspired me to pen this down:
Closer to you
The phone rings an invite.
Your single call pulls me.
Rushed byes, my journey begins,
A sailor off to sea.
Aboard the packed bus
Amidst all the din
I'm free, exhilarated.
I glow, I smile, I sing.
Another kind of life,
Other ways to live.
In your land, I am
a foreign native.
I don't know why
In your abode alone,
I feel safe, sound-
I am home.
I leave home to come home, to you.
From: Bangalore, Karnataka, India
About me: Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. I choose the former.
Once upon a time,
when the universe was mine..

Dreams.
My dreams are like the Sun.
Light in me, dispelling all fears,
A sunny Talisman, to me near,
Nourishing, feeding, my mind.
My dreams, brightly they burn.
My dreams are like Water.
Everflowing, ever evolving.
Waning, waxing, forming and dissolving.
Playing with the child in me,
My dreams, they grow and learn.
My dreams are like the Wind.
Against my face, cool and wild
Some days, strong, some mild.
Taking me this place and that,
My dreams, make me jump and turn.
My dreams are like the Sun.
Light in me, dispelling all fears,
A sunny Talisman, to me near,
Nourishing, feeding, my mind.
My dreams, brightly they burn.
My dreams are like Water.
Everflowing, ever evolving.
Waning, waxing, forming and dissolving.
Playing with the child in me,
My dreams, they grow and learn.
My dreams are like the Wind.
Against my face, cool and wild
Some days, strong, some mild.
Taking me this place and that,
My dreams, make me jump and turn.

I LOVE YOU
You look at me
And I forget everything,
A mere smile on your lips
Can make me sing and dance.
When you speak to me
No other voice, I hear
The world becomes a haven
When I find you near.
When I’m not with you
I feel lonely and scared
Then I remember the moments
And the joys we shared.
Then, on my face, there comes a glow,
A hope that we will survive
Through obstacles, high and low.
Now hear me say the words, sweet and true
You are everything for me; I love you.
