I left with the moon in the sky

visible from my plane window.

Hoping that it's telling me,

my tears are each being counted

and will be repaid with days,

with nights, with time, with you.

Four hours alone with my thoughts,

of despair and agonizing heart.

Each time turning, to see that familiar smile.

Forgive me love for crying,

for being frayed...

Goodbyes with you wreck me.

Skin and bones, skin and bones,

all you have is skin and bones.

No heart, no soul,

your thoughts all cold.

Skin and bones, skin and bones,

all you have is skin and bones.

your tongue cuts through

even hearts of gold.

A sudden feeling to bolt,

suffocating entrances, exits unavailable.

Fake smiles exchanged,

blank faces I see...

Superficial. Vertigo.

I am walking away now....

Today she finally cried.

She allowed tears to just fall.

She acknowledged the pain.

"It is good to cry", I told her.

"It is okay to cry", I told her.

She isn't weak, she is just human.

She cried like a child.

No bitterness... just the pain of the loss.

She cried like a prayer...

asking for comfort and seeking for answers.

She cried like a woman...

forgiving and understanding.

She cried like the mist...

quiet and calming.

She cried.

"It is okay to cry", I told her.  

Every movement resound;

your presence engulfs my soul.

Everyone else drowns out,

as my thoughts fixate on you,

running through my veins.

You are with me,

every breath, each second,

settled in my whole being.

Even in my silence,

I remain yours.

Withering heart, withering soul;

twilight comes with no reprieve.

I remain perpetual

but wanting to tumble,

shaken to the deepest core.

I wait for sunrise,

but dawn chafes,

still I wait in silence,

do I wait in vain.

I believe in you,

flowerchild swaying with time,

my flame is dying,

but just a soft whisper from you

the candle remains burning.

You embody my robust sensuality,

Passion incarnate...

oh how I long for love's sweet kiss,

longing for you everyday that passes by.

Every detail, every moment

your face and sweetness I remember.

My soul screams for you,

my heart belongs to you.

And when I close my eyes

my breath speaks of your love

I continue to wait for your return.

I hear the music in the background

and my thoughts wander to you.

The resounding melody of the violin,

feeds the feeling of wanting you beside me.

My soul wonders,

Are you thinking of me too,

Does your heart ache for me

as distance separates us.

I close my eyes

and I dream about you,

I can almost feel you

in my arms again...

I'm holding back the tears,

keeping the faith

that I'll see you soon.

This goodbye isn't forever.

I'll be here waiting...

waiting for an interval

Torrents of bliss

followed by desperate hours...

I have a secret to tell

will I live another day,

to say that love betrays

or see hope prevail.

Your touch is a thousand sensations,

soft like a baby's kiss

hopeful...innocent...yearning.

You are as lost as I am

both staying affloat, remaining adrift

Pull me out from inside

hold me close...

I will hold you close.
