I Saw You on The Patio, Conor Oberst as Your Background

You've never held me so closely or as tenderly, dear. The lies built up inside you and created a barrier of fear. Your smile has never been as real or as heartbreakingly sweet. Your heart thumped so timely without skipping one beat. I sensed your truth for the first time yesterday I wanted you more than ever and in so many more ways. I wanted you back without waiting the long, coming days. To run free, away from your disease and into the sun's bright rays. I only long for you, love without all of your pain. You really gave me comfort I can never explain I only hope to have it back one day, after your addiction wanes.
