I clone you in my mind, I'm slightly off into my zone.
I'd call you with my phone, but again, you decide to be alone,
Talking to myself, seems to help, so I drone on and on,
You seem to come to mind when I think of letters home.
I think of all the times that we shared when we were known,
and how we would set the tone as we have grown to move along.

I remember all the times we shared fries, and we watched the sun rise.
I remember the stars in the sky, and the ones in your eyes.
I remember when we cried, when bad times came by.
I remember our goodbye, the love we let fly.

You aren't perfect, but you've made life worth it.
When you're around you clear the pain below the surface.
I was hurting, in my mind I was worthless,
You taught me how to love myself, I love you that's for certain.

Close the curtains please, join me in our place,
I want to take you up in my arms, and kiss you on your face.
You are my solar system, you are my outer space.
Heartbeat racing, fingers tracing, the lacings of your galaxy.

Coup de grace! Fantasy again mixes with reality.
The bottle hits the floor like in a cliche'd tragedy.
You aren't the same person, you burn off apathy.
You were here, now you're gone, you're resentful, and you're mad at me.

I left you far behind, when our love was in our prime,
Now you don't give me the time, I always seem to cross some line.
It seems to you I'm slime because you always gripe and grime,
It's never good enough for you, no matter how high I climb.

This mountain of love I made for you, is so quiet, so giant.
But you walk away from me, and make your own island.
So I'm jumping off for you, this is sure to be violent.
Now you get your wish, I'll forever be silent.
