I used to be so aquatinted  
to sleeping alone
but then you came into my life
and you felt like home

Every morning I would wake
with you by my side
and I never once thought I would lose you
but I did
in the blink of an eye

so now here I am
back in my bed
without anyone to hold
without anyone for me to rest my head

here I am sleeping alone
in a place that will never feel like home

I'm escaping this world
one step at a time
but all I need first
is a partner in crime

I searched for you
in those last few words
but you were lost
among the nonsense
spewing from your mouth
and among the hatred
that slithered from your tongue
and you were lost
but our fight
hadn't even yet
begun

it is in this shower
in which I think the most

it is in this shower
in which I realize my choice

it is in this shower
in which the right words come to me

and it is in this shower
in which I am finally free

the stars tell stories
about everyone's past
and everyone's future

but only a few
can translate the stars
and tell those who wish
what lies in the past
or what lies beyond

Another walk through the woods
another dip in the spring
another chance to hold your hand
and
another chance to whisper wisdom

the bababbling brook lays
beyond broken branches
and that is where
the flume awaits us both

the coffee stain on my napkin reminds me of you
and that time you wrote me a letter
telling me all your secrets
including
that you loved me

the paint stain on my t-shirt reminds me of you
and that time we painted my room
and you told me more secrets
including
that you loved me

the sharpie stain on my jeans reminds me of you
and that time in the park
when you told the world our secret
that we love each other
