For Me

Every day
I feel the aching distance between us
Every day
You push me away but tell me you love me
Every day
You feed the growing space around me
Every day

Long ago

You took my hand and whispered a future
Long ago
Time was meaningless with you near me
Long ago
No fears were present, our future was clear
Long ago

Never again

Sunrise kisses and nights spent so slowly
Never again
Curled up on cold nights, hearts beating gently
Never again
A breath of warm laughter from those soft lips
Never again

Say you miss me

That I was all you ever thought worth keeping
Say you miss me
The years spent apart killing you, oh so gently
Say you miss me
That any other’s touch leaves you numb inside
Say you miss me

Tell me you love me

Tickle my ear and scream it in defeat
Tell me you love me
While holding my hands and down on your knees
Tell me you love me
Like every time’s the first spoken, the most important
Tell me you love me

Let me go

So maybe one day my breath won’t cut so deeply
Let me go
And making breakfast for one won’t taste like defeat
Let me go
To some distant lover whose life I can complete
Let me go
