buried love

See you here, see you there

Hear your laugh, meet that stare;

Whiskey eyes intent on mine,

Why can’t we just go back in time

Nowhere I can go, nowhere I can think,

I’m haunted by you, alive in my mind;

Phantom arms wrapping ‘round me,

Pull me in close, like we used to be

Warm lips on mine, hands in my hair;

Wishin I could stay right here

Where your touch, your warmth, your breath,

All of you is real

What once was easy now is stunted,

Both in masks, playing our parts.

Can’t get too close, or we’ll fall back in;

We walk that line, ‘cross from the other:

Reach over, love, and just put your hand in mine.
