We lived on the docks
Just you and I
We grew old here together love
Saw things lovers wish to see
The laughter of children once filled this house
Now my thoughts are only what drift though the walls
We said our goodbyes and you went to sleep
You ever fiery heart setting to a nice kindling
I felt the rush of life leave your fingers through mine
Oh my love the lake is quite peaceful at this time of night
I think I'll go for a swim and let the gentle waters calm the fires in my heart
When morning comes we'll be side by side just you and I
In whatever place we go
Just know that we can have our abstract hugs and our simple concrete goodbyes
Thanks for reading.
