“I love you” I hear
As you wake me from my dreams,
And I can barely comprehend.
We say goodbye in a haze,
Stuck between sleep and reality.
It’s time for you to go,
Like so many times before.
I’m familiar with this part by now
So I barely flinch at all.
I wake the next morning
Shivering in bed
Because my heat, my heart, my soul
Is too far from home.

“I love you” I hear
As you wake me from my dreams,
And I can barely comprehend.
We say goodbye in a haze,
Stuck between sleep and reality.
It’s time for you to go,
Like so many times before.
I’m familiar with this part by now
So I barely flinch at all.
I wake the next morning
Shivering in bed
Because my heat, my heart, my soul
Is too far from home.
