I see our memories all around me,
like the ghosts from former lives, trapped in time
Where we shared our first kiss, where you told me how
much you loved my touch, were we ran to escape it all

I revel in the depth and weight of precious recollection
lose myself in the countless hours spent together, two becoming one
your absence is palpable, I still hold your hand in mine,
smell your shampoo, taste your lips, feel the heat of your skin

our star burned too quickly, and the resultant supernova consumed us
Or were you my oasis--a drop of water to a dying man
that drop turned to a torrent, then a deluge that drowned me in your past

It's so much easier to speak a hard truth at night,
when you can't see the impact crater a simple good-bye leaves

So I walk these hallways, mimicing the act of living
While my head and heart are trapped in echoes of the past
My days are filled with rose-hued memories of you
I chase your ghost still
