Tonight I was looked at
The way I always looked at you
And I don't know how you did it
Because I could never walk away from love like that

Isn't it funny
How much we can love the wrong person
As if they were the right one all the while

I let you become my world
I called you home
And when you left
I didn't know where to go

So I ran to the streets of France
And climbed the hills of Italy
I swam with mermaids in the  Mediterranean
And found secrets in the countryside of Ireland

I walked where kings walked
Traced the footsteps of men who changed the world
I fell in love with places
And was overwhelmed with the kindness of strangers

And when I stood at the top of the world
I was humbled at its size
And discovered what a small piece you are
Of my grand story

And in your absence
Something incredible happened

I fell in love with myself

My life is a silly collection of misplaced tragedies

Loves that's should've been but didn't
Men I couldn't want but did
Loves that did but not enough to stay

You stand too close
And I can barely breathe
As your fingers secretly tickle the small of my back
I try to act as if you have no power at all
Praying that you don't feel the goose bumps arising from your touch
But things are complicated
And I'm not supposed to want you

But oh
How desperately I crave you

I saw you
And I just knew

*I was in for one hell of a ride
