For so long all I wanted,
was to be lying here awake at one in the morning
knowing that I could safely roll over
to your sweet side
smell your chest and know that home
was wherever your face was.

For so long all I wanted,
was too have so much to say to you
knowing that with just one look in my direction
you wouldn't even have to ask,
because truth was
you already knew.

For so long all I wanted
was you, back to back to back again to you.
Back to when our skin was stronger
and our eyes were shut wider.
For so long all I wanted
was you, back to back to back again to you.

But the more I think about it,
contemplate the consequences of fighting for you
again and again and again.
The more I realize that what I want
is not just to get back to back to back again to you
but to go back again
to when you  were you.

For so long all I wanted,
was you. But you've only become a memory
a faded pixel in the kaleidoscope of my life
a chipped shoulder in my base.
a lover that was meant to be erased.
