The noise stops
The sky is clear
Once again
Your hand drops
To my hair
Your mouth is near
But there's no sound
Your eyes, they speak
But I hear silence
All around
I'm not weak
But without you
I lose ground
Your presence
Brings peace
Don't care for much
But you I'd miss
Your lips on mine
No better touch
C'mon ******
I'm in a rush
The noises start
Our lips part
My mind won't stop
Your hands drop
I didn't say no
But you back off
You already know
If we go too fast
You'll move slow
Our love will last
Give it time to grow

I dreamt we swam
Together in your ocean
Once I turned my head
To look over my shoulders
And my land I couldn't find
You, happy as a fish,
Dragged me away
So I left my world behind

I dreamt we were happy
You fed me all your secrets
Introduced me to your creatures
Catching rides on waves
Sleeping sheltered by caves
We would play under the sea
No fisherman or nets to catch us
Oh, I dreamt we were free

But reality was a nightmare
And caves were few and cold
And waves big and scary
And I, never one to be bold
Told you I had to stay
And you, like a fish out of water,
Touched me one last time
And swam away

I was trying to draw a picture
I had of you on my mind
Went through all my greens and blues
But none were the right kind

I picked up different pencils
Nothing I did felt right
Your hair bright as the sun
My colors hadn't enough light

I stopped for a moment
Allowed myself to feel
With the memory of your smile
My drawing became real

My hands worked on their own
And the lines clicked into place
When I finally opened my eyes
I was staring at your face

I called you the moon
And then you walked away
Weeks went by and I thought
Out of all the games we play
This was the worst of the lot
Time and time again
I asked you to stay
I promised to make it worthwhile
We would be okay
But then you came back and I understood
It doesn’t matter what I say
Because you really are the moon
And you’ll keep changing, everyday
