You drift like shadows across my mind,
A fleeting face I’ll never find.
I try to release you, but you pull me tight, if you can, stir the quiet in my veins

I once believed I stood a man,
Too great for games, too proud to bend or plan.
But in your presence, all resolve ran wild,
While you stand there, untouched, serene, and mild.
In that moment I felt a spark, a spark that could've caused a fire, but it didn't.

Fading, twisting, slipping through trees.
I’d release these thoughts, like leaves in a storm,
Scattered and lost, with no shape or form.
I'd released them and I'm shaping them, hoping for desire.

Such a fleeting face in such a fleeting place,
A crush that's fading, though I wish it would erase.
Yet part of me still hopes you will come to stay,
Just like I hope to catch the wind, or hold the moon’s sway.
Have you noticed me.

Imaginary lover, do you feel my embrace?
Soft touches and whispers in our cozy space.
Would you snuggle close, beneath blankets tight,
Sharing warmth and sweetness through the quiet night?

Do you exist?
I think you do, are my thoughts true?
I've met you already, haven't I?
Wrap my heart in a tender glow, filling it with a soft, radiant warmth

Oh, how I crave that warmth anew—
The feeling, not you, to pull me through.
Return to me, those tender highs,
Please, I long for that gentle thrill in my chest.
I suppose it’s you I yearn for.

I miss you.
