Connecting with this world
Standing barefoot on cold sand
Arms beside me naked
But empty is my hand.
Waiting one more day
Maybe two or three or more
Stood in line for hours
Only one foot in the door.
Shaking, tossing, turning
Tied up in all these knots
Reading through my emails
Connecting all the dots.
Words you say so easy
You say what you hope to be
Those words they played some tricks though
Rolled out from up your sleeve.
What was it that you said
That cold and frosted night
I lay shaking in my bed, unsure
Was it really worth the fight.
Sleepless here without you
But dreading your return
Will you still want me just as bad
Or just memories left to burn.
You know me well enough
To know I’m not at ease
You left me and it’s cold
A sudden quick release.
I don’t do well with distance
So far, but we’re so close
Yet still, we play with matches
I fear, I’m missing you the most.
Started out so pretty
It was you and there was me
Charming, smart, and witty
That was easiest to see.
The desire to connect with you
Much more than underneath
Though I long to kiss your body
And watch you when you sleep.
All you have to offer
Is everything to me
Shattered but not broken
Is our love meant to be.

Everything you are
Is everything I need
I miss you so much
I only wish you could see
Being without you hurts
I really wish I was numb
When I think of the things I said, I know it was dumb
I thought I needed to walk away and not look back
But my heart won’t let me
Every road I want to take leads me to you.
