IF ONLY YOU WERE HERE
The late-night breeze slips through
The cracks in my door
Wrapped in sheets, stuck here
Memories of you flood my mind.
Like diving into an underwater cave
My thoughts delve deeper and deeper
The more they plunge, the darker it gets
Restoring memories long erased.
I’m there now, that night you cried
Right after we made love for the first time in the dark.
The harder I tried to console you
The further you slipped away, turning cold and blue.
If only you were here, tonight
We could revisit that very night.
This time, I'd go slower, gentler
Avoiding the issue that sparked our fight.
