They’ve etched your lines
Deep into me
He doesn’t love you
Who would limit you
To who you are now
He does not love you
Who would have you
All to himself
That is not love
But the need of love
As if you are a fetish
Come away with me
And I will let you love
Whomever you want to love
Because I love
That you want
More than just me
It would be enough
To know
You loved yourself best
It would be enough
To know
Who you loved most, next
Nothing comes to mind
And I wonder at you and I
With all that space
We put between us
And still
We just can’t
Get along
An hour or so
Every day
On the bench
By the shore
On the edge of the fog
I wonder why
But I think I know
That bridge has been enough trouble
For us
No
For me
Maybe just for me
Even before the fog
An added vibrance
To the sky
Reminds me
Of your presence
The days a little brighter
The nights a little lighter
My life a little better
All for reasons
I cannot comprehend
No simple explanation
But a simple truth
My life a little better
Still
The best moments
Gathered in little circles
Words and laughter exchanged
While the stormy world
Just falls away
