For a Second

Just for a second there You could of been him Just for a second But for the clothes your wearing Eyes the colour of straw You could of been him then When I saw you from over there Turn your head just slightly Yes there it is again That air of masculinity Your cheekbones are the same Your hair the same shade of brown So dark it could be black Just for a second there I thought I had him back For a second my tummy dropped My knees they felt all weak Hands they had some feeling back I swear my heart did leap For a second there All was right Again I felt complete The missing in me filled back up A smile began to break I am nothing without him I rattle around in my skin Trying to make some sense Of why his life did end Just for a second there you could of been him Just for a second
