When I say your name
My voice changes
Elevations of pitch and clarity
Bounces in my chest for a short while
Echoes of feelings most tender
Oh how I long for you

If you were a song I would play you completely wrong
Because the notes of your internal harmony
Change whenever I encounter them
And I rather have you think I was
Absent-minded
Than ever admit to you how
Entranced I am of
Your entire being

When I say your name I feel this
Magnetism, a glow, a resonance, a
Deep compulsion to just exist in
Conjunction with you
Oh how I long for you

When I say your name
The phantom of your face manifests
Behind my eyelids
From time to time
As I chase spans of light and
Dark through imagined terrain

Completely consumed by the ethereal
And impossible
Oh how I long for you

When you say my name
You are hollow
