I've isolated you on an island in my mind
Piling my hopes for us and my thoughts of you to create the walls of a castle settled in the middle of the island.
My tears have filled up the lake around it.
The clouds in the sky swirled together by how dizzy you can still make me.

Whenever I need it, I take a picture of the two of us and sail in it to you.
Your smile greets me. Sweet eyes and warm hands.
Strolling through phantoms trees, I relive our best moments.
I can feel you there, running ahead of me.

It is only when I run after you, that I am shook back to reality
In the middle of my bed, not an island.
I can still try to chase you
You aren't there.
