Seconds pass like hours when I think of you
When I think of us, and all we had
I was blinded by love yet everything felt clearier when you were here
The gaze of your grey eyes
The scent of your sweater
The look you had on your face when we got high
When I was with you, I was so sure
Not sure of what, exactly.
But your presence, it crushed all of my worries, doubts, and fears.
I felt so safe, wrapped in the warmth of your love
I felt so clear.
Now that you're gone I feel a piece of myself missing
The grey skies still lead me to your big eyes
They bring back the memories - oh so many.
When you'd kiss my neck
When you'd exhale in my ear
When you'd lay your head on my bony lap
Your smell still lingers my house. It's in the corridors that you carried me through when I was too drunk too function.
It's in the sheets of my bed where you once rested your head
Sometimes I stay wrapped in that old towel for hours on end because it was your favorite
Everything reminds me of you
I still wake up and my arm naturally extends to your side of the bed
I think I'm going to touch the jagged ends of your 5 o'clock shadow
All I grab is the sheet that you once slept on
