The smell of your cigarette

I could taste on my lips.

I could feel your smile.

When I kissed your face

And I know that life doesn’t.

Give you what you want.

But darling I can’t deny.

Now that you’re gone.

I loved the way you held me that night The way you looked and stared right into my soul Such a funny little thing we got going on.

 

I remember waiting patiently.

All that time

Telling myself ‘It’s alright’

Silly little girl

I knew you were.

Too good to be true.

 

That Sunday morning

In your t-shirt

You said it’s your favourite

What would you do?

If I asked you to surrender

Ourselves to fate

If we only had limited

Time in our hands

And I’d ride that roller coaster.

With no fear of falling

And you’d only had the best of me.

Few days of hoping

That you’d hold me

For a long time to come

And how the world would

Turn in our favour.

While we lay cocooned

In our little safe house

This momentary paradise
