Lockdown Lyricism: "Air"

Elusive lover

Figment of a memory

That's yet to be,

If ever even that

Your voice is a song

I cannot hear

Which speaks sweet nothings

That vanish before my ears

I can't see your face

Yet I know it would

Bring me to my knees

Should the day come

When you wander into focus

And your eyes are everything

I dreamt of, yet could never

Imagine with my waking eyes

Were I able to muster all

The courage in my bones

I'd dare to know you so well

That pulling your hair back

To rest behind your ear

Would be as nonchalant

Yet monumental

As taking every new breath

I want to fill my lungs with you

Until I don't care if I drown,

Because in my dreams

You would be

All the air I'd ever need.
