Night

by michael-pick

Nobody told me that sleeping alone would be so hard If the room is completely quiet I sometimes hear your voice Like from just the other night when you whispered I love you Ever since you've said those words I've struggled on my own I open all my windows to replace your breath upon my arms Because if I fill the room with air then I can't tell it apart If I roll over tonight I'll surely expect you to be there But until that can be true again I'll just try to make do alone I find a calmness in the way we don't need to do anything We become our most intimate when we're inches apart And surely the daylight seems to soften us up for the night Because I miss the way you speak and make me feel And God forgive you because your eyes could slay me How dare they shine and glow in the dark while I look It's like I've jumped head first into something new completely I'm quite scared of the future but you keep my eyes open I worried about reactions when I said how I felt about you Yet I no longer care if people think we're crazy to say love The way we've rushed into this almost surprised me at first But now it's like the world moves around us instead of with us
