Until You Breathe My Name

I stop and listen But I can’t hear you I can smell your scent On my pillow But I can’t hear you If you would only race To my side And take this pain away I would be all right Tonight I just want another chance To hear your voice again But I can’t hear you The tears are in my eyes With no place left to go Because I can’t hear you Your footsteps echo Down the alleyway As I catch one more glance As your dress sways As you turn the corner But I can’t hear you I am screaming on the inside And I am having a meltdown On the outside Because I can’t hear you Just one word to let me know Just one word will get me through Until the next time I see you Laying on my pillow And I hear you breathe my name

A moving piece, Brian-- enjoyed reading this and your message comes strong and clear-- I hope this helps, just one typo-- a missing "e" in "breathe" in your title-- hope you're having a good weekend-- nikko :)
