I’d like so very much to touch
The place where you were, your face
Leaving its portrait like a watercolor stain
Dark blue
I’d like so very much to rush
Run back to where you were, heart attack
Making me lose my breath and balance
Sensibility
I’d like so very much to remember
What it was like to have you around
Like a constant
Like a steady
Like reliable
I’d like so very much to reach for you,
Way up in those stars
So I could bring you back to me
Back to me
I’d like so very much to have you back with me
Isn’t it lonely in heaven?
Aren’t the stars too bright?
I’ve tried reaching for you,
I just can’t make it
I’d like so very much to have you back.
