It never made much sense to me, to need you in the flesh. It’s something that I never understood until you left. Until I couldn’t take your smell to bed with me anymore. See, different destinations hadn’t threatened me before; and yet one mention of your name just drags me under. I’m plummeting towards the ocean floor. I still get overwhelmed if I allow my mind to wander; I’m still a slave to all those wretched thoughts. And still I feel the sickness, and still I feel the aches. And I’d be lying if I said I don’t still have my troubled days. But I’m not scorned, because I adore you And that would be insane. And it should be said that I will not be stuck here waiting. But I can't pretend that I'm not clinging onto faith That our newly distant paths will someday cross again.
