Eleven months ago you told me you were working on yourself.
I knew that this was for the best
And maybe we'd survive this test
But, you were gone, and that's okay.
Maybe you'd come back one day.
So I waded through velvet and glitter and gold,
And stumbled over choices a little too bold.
Forests of beards and cherry red lips,
A feeling of emptiness inside every kiss.
I wondered why numbness encased my tongue,
'Til I saw their eyes were empty.
And your eyes were whole.
Electric affairs should've been a tiny bliss,
But you can't hold a hand when the fingers don't fit.
On the mound of my palm, just below the ring,
Your initial is carved, telling just about everything.
Then that one autumn day when I saw you again,
My search light crawled out, landing right on your head.
We knew in that moment where we needed to be.
I should be with you, and you should be with me.
Now my hands are the numb ones,
I forgot how to breathe.
But my tongue is on fire with words I can't conceive.
In you are shades of blue that I have never seen before
And I want you in the stars with me,
For now and evermore.
