I look around and notice that you’re not here,
It hurts so much because I really want you near,
What is it that you crave with others’ company? It’s not fair,
Your attention is all I need and it is hard to bear.

It always comes at times when I’m feeling alright,
When I’m not really searching but I’ll always find,

Why can’t you come at times when I’m feeling all blue,
Is it because you’ll see me and I won’t see you?

I’m looking pretty clearly, no clouds in my way,
I could lay with you all day and promise I’ll stay.

Whoever said it’s life, clearly didn’t fight for it.
Whoever said I can’t, clearly didn’t try at it.
Whoever let you go, clearly wasn’t right,
Cause if they were right, they’d hold on... tight.

You’re one of many and one of few,
The gateway to that realm of something new,
Old souls in a young form,
That strike of lightning in a cloudy storm,
Imagine you never came, imagine I never left,
Is inevitability real? Or would it have been reft,
Hoping this is limitless but counting seconds, minutes and days,
In case we outgrow this moment and life gets in the way,
But we are connected, connection runs deep,
Almost like a horror film, you turn away but still get the urge to peep,
Lurking in the darkest shadows of your conscious lies curiosity,
Had to be a reason we hit the earth at an incredible velocity,
Clearly our auras were meant to be seen,
By no other, than you and me,
Appreciate “this” in its entirety.

Summer nights and sunkissed days take me away,
Cushiony feelings oh so warm I can't complain,
Slow ocean walks take you in with a smile and a gaze,
Your velvety kisses make me want to stay.

Running through a field full of flowers of all different kinds,
I never count the seconds because I’m lost in time,
Like my tan from the sun, you’ve made your mark; now you’re always on my mind,
You're my box of treasure, something I need to hide.

Bike rides in the forest,
Deep stares at the bright blue sky,
If I can be honest,
You're the best kind of high.

I didn’t know that when I made this decision, it would mean saying hello to me and bye to you;
I held on so tightly when I hugged you, in case you were too delicate to piece yourself back together.

I started thinking about all of the memories we made together and the times I needed you most.
Now to think of it, you were always there for me even if it wasn’t in person.

You’d always be that voice from a distance which is funny because I always thought I was that voice and I was calling you.
All I ever wanted was for you to return my call and follow my voice through the tunnel; I would have promised that as long as I’m around, you’d never get lost again; but I get it.

We both are young and lead different paths and that is why I had to leave; because in order to find you, I have to find myself so that I can be steady enough to piece you back together.

I remember when your eyes met mine. It was a feeling, not so much physical attraction. I knew that you’d open me up and I knew that I’d strip you down - in so many ways.

It only took a night, a moment, a second for us to be completely naked and vulnerable for only our eyes to see and our minds to feel. Connected entirely, it didn’t feel like one night, maybe a lifetime?

That’s when I knew. As you slept, I was sleepless. As you slept, my heart skipped a beat everytime your eyelids flinched. I wanted to hold it so tightly but not tight enough that it’d slip through my fingers.

I day-dreamed about you waking up and holding me close, expressing your love to me as you gently kissed my face. You, looking deep into me, so deep you could see my hidden gems. Yes the same gems that haven’t sparkled in years.

You see, it only takes one; one moment, one feeling, one person, one love. Your eyes begin to flutter and I inhale. I guess the question is, before I see your eyes, before the sun comes up, before a word even leaves your lips… will you actually?
