I was looking
for you
in the eyes of another.
You weren't there.

Still I went back.

I spoke of you
to his dreams
as he drunk of your water.
You weren't there.

Still I went back.

I felt the roughness
of your touch
in his kiss.
Soon it exploded.

Still I went back.

You were never there.
You never came back.
You were always fading.
But still I went back.

For you will never leave
for you are always here.
