for the first time

I want to know you again
know the sound your footfalls make
know the feel of your hand on my face
I want to lean on your chest
and listen to your heart dance
understand the tears that fall from your eyes
and cry them too
I want to remember your laugh
the one that tingles my ear as it moves the air

this place is empty with out you
haunting echo's in a bare room
I still rise every morning, shower every night
but in between the silence haunts me.
tapping on my shoulder to remind me...

I can't pretend that these questions don't exsist
that the lies don't still haunt my sleep
but I don't want to live here anymore

I don't want to go back to the way we were
to return would be an injustice to both of us
but I don't want to live here anymore

you broke the rose colored glasses
don't leave me to cut myself on the sharp edges
wake me up and tell me this doesn't end here
wake me up and wrap me in your embrace

I don't care if you come with flowers or answers or a history
just come. I was wrong. Please come

I want to know you again, maybe for the first time
