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
