Come Closer

You should be here with me

My heart is as empty as the side of the bed that you used to sleep on

And my life's crashing harder than the waves on the shore like when you first kissed me

And I'm falling harder and faster into loneliness than I was when I fell for you

And I know there's no stopping this

But you should be next to me

Kissing each freckle on my arm and tracing "I love you" into my palm because each letter deserved it's own recognition for it made up a larger picture

And you should be next to me

With my head leaning onto the very shoulder I spent entire nights crying into

You should be beside me

But I guess this was all besides the point

And now you're next in line for a new girl

I just wish you would give me a next chance
