you and your absence

This path is taking us too long

We'll never know when we'll get home

Be the picture, I'll be the frame

I'll hold you as close as I can

I had your skin memorized

Melodies going through your veins

My sense of being loved

Was taken by you and your absence

Let me feel the temptation

Of your hands under my skin

Glowing bodies left beneath us

Drowning in the oceans of light

You sound so poetic

Unlike me, unlike them

My sense of loving you

Was mistaken by fear of rejection

I'll never love again

Until I feel some kind of connection

My sense of being loved

Was taken by you and your absence

I will sing along to the music

That helps me forget you
