Hands, touching…
Feels like the world's melting away,
And it's only her and me,
Like it used to be, and
I shouldn't be thinking about it now,
Because it feels right, and damn it,
This is where I should be.
Her hand finds mine in the darkness.
Didn't really notice when she switched the lights off, but
It doesn't matter.
Don't need to see her in order to know she's there,
And she is, and
For once,
I don't have to close my eyes.
There's some kind of quiet desperation in this,
And I wonder if she notices, 'cause
I sure as hell do, and it's like I'm looking for something,
But I don't know what I'm looking for…
Some kind of absolution, maybe…
And her name comes from somewhere inside me,
Before I can stop it.
Don't really want to.
Her hands are on my face, for split seconds,
And then her arms around me, and she's
Looking right at me, and I can't seem to look away,
And I don't want to, either…
Don't want to let go, for fear of what'll happen if I do…
And I don't want to fall.
Maybe I won't…not this time, anyway.
And after a little while, she falls asleep beside me,
Her head on my shoulder,
But I can't seem to close my eyes.
It's warm here…warmer than it's been in a long time, and
I wouldn't have stayed if she didn't want me to, but she did.
Can't help but wonder what it's supposed to mean.
