Dear Friend

Like the rain that lulls me to sleep at night,
your fingers run through my hair.
If it wasn't for the melodic hum in the background,
I would be a little too aware that you are near.

Because your touch sends static through every cell in my body,
and it seems as if their ability to multiply would quicken.
We sit with peace in your room, your eyes on mine. Drifting – I am stricken.

I don't know if it's your eyes that bind me or if it is just your gentle touch.
The rain pelting at my window,
sighs blurring with background music, your soft singing – it's my crutch

I yearn for this forever. I need this too much
A dream for something so sweet and simple
oh, how I yearn for it so much

If there ever was a time i evaded your question, it's because the answer was you.
and in all my hopeless yearning, i pray you you'll never see the truth

I don't want to see you regretting,
regretting me
regretting you
I don't want to hear you apologizing
those “sorry”s just won't do

They won't fix my heart
they won't take away rejection
they'll scar me completely
bruises not seen in my reflection

So I’ll keep my lips together
so we can keep our smiles
I’ll let your fingers play with my hair
and lull me to dreams filled with lovely denial.
