• i know you cannot be here,
    i know i cannot be with you now.
    you
    watching the slow turn of seasons makes me sleepy,
    waiting for you.
    i still feel you on the empty seat beside me
    i still hear your soft tread in the hallway
    i still smell your perfume drifting through my fingers
    i still wait for your call

    i know you've gone away,
    i know that it's impossible for me to follow
    watching the slow years pass by
    i must be haunting someone.
    i still dream of you,
    reaching out to your slipping ghost

    i know we cannot be together
    but i still wish we were
