When I first wake up in the morning
Its an instinct for me to think about you.
The picture of us to the right of my bed
And the letter you wrote me
Are the first things I see when I awake
From my dreams,
That also always involve you.
Throughout the day
I have constant reminders of things
That you do
Things that you said
And I sometimes see your face
On strangers wandering the roads.
On the nights when I'm
Exessively lonely,
I'll lay next to him and let him
Give his love to me
Just so I'm not so numbed
Just so I'm not so empty
And I'll close my eyes and imagine
Its your hands caressing me
And imagine
Its your eyes hypnotizing me.
Maybe I should have fought for you,
But I'd rather solve things with peace
So as if you were a dove in a cage,
Or a fish in a tank,
I realized it was not right to keep you
Trapped
So I set you free,
And now
an emptiness takes the place
Of where you once belonged.
Maybe I should have
Fought for you
But once I set you free
You were gone
In the blink of an eye
Forever out of arms reach
