Now, you adore me.
When my absence echoes through
every corner,
of every room.
When the longing for me
is so suffocating you are left gasping for air.
When the regret runs like poison in your veins.
Right before you fall asleep,
and the first thing when you wake,
my name lingers next to your ear.
I visit you in dreams so vivid,
your heart breaks a little
each time you open your eyes.
In every place you visit,
you secretly hope to find my eyes
meeting yours.
Each night you turn to the other side of
the bed, the warmth of my body
no longer rests besides you.
You wear regret across your face,
as I’ve worn disappointment across mine.
Now you adore me,
once I’m already gone.

Now, you adore me.
When my absence echoes through
every corner,
of every room.
When the longing for me
is so suffocating you are left gasping for air.
When the regret runs like poison in your veins.
Right before you fall asleep,
and the first thing when you wake,
my name lingers next to your ear.
I visit you in dreams so vivid,
your heart breaks a little
each time you open your eyes.
In every place you visit,
you secretly hope to find my eyes
meeting yours.
Each night you turn to the other side of
the bed, the warmth of my body
no longer rests besides you.
You wear regret across your face,
as I’ve worn disappointment across mine.
Now you adore me,
once I’m already gone.
