on nights when nostalgia clings to me like the tears cling to my eyelashes,
any song will do,
any thought of you will do.

on nights when the memories choke me and put me under their spell,
any poem will do,
any thought of you will do.

on nights when my past catches up and i drown in bad choices,
any picture will do,
any thought of you will do.

on nights when you are so close i can touch you,
and so far you hardly know my name,
any thought of you will do.
