So endearing is the time spent waiting for those soft eyelids to open
The touch of the hand so warm, it makes my heart ache
Even though we promised we’d never change
I want to cover my ears with your heartbeat
These long fingers tangle in loneliness
And won’t let go Look straight ahead
By biting down on that vivid memory of the two of us
Walking along the cherry tree-lined street, laughing at the slightest provocation
I want to forget the present
What are your thoughts of in the moment we touch
Stop apologizing so
Stay with me for just a little longer
I was happy to have just been by your side
I’ll say it because I know you can’t
Tonight, let me dream about the two of us from that day
I remember all the paths you have difficulty with and
I know what words you need this moment
I wished to shield you from sadness
I love the way your lips stiffen, your strange way of showing love
Will you be alright without me? Listen
Stay with me for just a little longer
I know these things can’t be helped
Your seat should remain vacant
Tonight, let me dream about the two of us from that day
“Nights hidden by clouds
Pure white, so much whiter than a dress to vow eternal love in
I’ll pour them into a bottomless glass”
Never again will I make promises that can’t be kept
Stay with me for just a little longer
Won’t you hold our memories and wounds in a firm embrace I’ll say it because I know you can’t
Tonight, show me the last of our dreams
On a solitary morning, I’ll bring closure to this dream
