home

dear lover

lover, i saw you in my dream again

eyes locked, body on top of mine

i wish I could lie, but i can never pretend

that thoughts of you don’t take all my time

but I woke up to my heart burning

and tears leaked out my eyes

.

lover, how have the days been?

have you diluted your affections

or does your heart wretch at the thought of me

or does it still burn of loving emotion?

.

my body, my mind, my soul, my pride

i would give it all up to rewind the time

when we stood alone, and you cried

while i took your words and walked on by

.

lover, why do i still love you?

our time was short, but my love stayed

was it your beauty or was it your attitude

or your presence that keeps my love from decay?

.

lover, if only you knew how i feel

how could i still desire who hurt me most?

my coldness was merely protection from fear

that my heart would pour out from below

.

my body, my mind, my soul, my pride

all stripped naked as i cry

the whiskey could only numb me for so long

before I wake up and feel what i can’t deny
