Nighttime's when I see the memories best
I see them all the time, night's when they manifest
I lay in bed as they invade my head
So real I can almost feel your flesh
Our lips locked as our fingers meshed
I kissed your breasts like they were the last food on Earth left
I stayed up while you slept to listen to your breath
Then I heard the sound of drums coming from my chest
No rest, awake till daybreak
Tongues exploring
Tongues done talking
Mind is running
Knowing that we've walked into something awesome
Shunning caution
Aflame
Amazed by the things that take place
A present from heaven in a Venus-shaped case
Come to grace this lonely man's lowly space
Too much to take so I just gaze at your face
As we lay waist to waist
And you don't budge
You look straight back at me with eyes filled with love
Our lips touch like wet paintbrushes
We kiss and hug and lick and suck
And paint each other the same color
Candlelit
Feeling like I'm dreaming
Intertwined shadows creeping the ceiling
We hold tight
You and me come
Two become one as the moon becomes sun
And after the rapture dies down
Just like before we ever lied down
I glow cuz I feel like I've found my soulmate
Somebody that's mine now
To share the sights and sounds with which life surrounds
You make everything feel like the first time
You make me so happy it hurts to smile
Feels like we've known each other forever, so at ease
I missed twenty years, one look put me up to speed
And when we connect for that short time
Everything against us floats out of sight, out of mind
Funny how me and you always equals deja vu
More sleepless nights, but this time no table for two
And in the place you once laid your head next to me
Now lays the ghost that you left when you left
It caresses me then off I doze into the cosmos
I'm on top, it's below
Biting my collarbone and moaning
Then I'm woken by a phone that's not ringing
A brain that won't stop thinking
A clock that won't stop ticking
Waterdrops that won't stop dripping
Life wouldn't have been better if I never met you
The pain was worth it for the pleasure
But now I'm left to wonder whether we'll ever be together
Am I just a dumb motherfucker for getting in the center
Of a man, woman and child situation
So yall weren't in relations
Is there a place in that equation for me?
Was I the third leg awaiting amputation? maybe
But you made me feel like I had a stake
And James needs no explanation
I came too late, and just early enough to get my heart taken
Of course I understand, the other man has the upper hand
He was your past, chance flung him back like a rubber band
I guess we both knew I'd have to go soon
It just felt so good, we held on as long as we could
And prayed for a miracle
Instead the unthinkable, rendering everything else miniscule
Sure, we had a bond, but yall bond was umbilical
So I give you room
Cuz I know how difficult it must have been to lose
And the only thing simple about this whole issue
Is the fact I miss you
Some people come in your life for a reason
Have a little fun, make a point then leave
And some people come and stick around for a season
Fade out before they go and get too deep in
And then one person hangs on for the whole nine
The lows, the highs, the ride of a lifetime
I watch you stumble through the dark alone
In the aftermath of the blast, trying to grasp for a hold
And it's been a long road
Twisted and cold
You were 19 feeling like 90 years old
But I want you to know that you've touched my soul
Something stronger than steel
More precious than gold
It was true romance
Crappy circumstance
Still you walked with me, still you gave me a chance
And for that I'm forever grateful
Forever faithful
Forever happy's what I'll make you
But alas, no dice I guess
Oh well, I tried my best, that's life, I guess
A whole bunch of decisions you thought you'd never have to deal with
Leading to a grip of positions you hoped you'd never be in
And I know at times it's all seemingly meaningless
But remember everything happens for a reason
Just never forget the feeling we give each other
And I'll see you someday, one way or another
The same love that set me free
Is the same love that won't let me be
To B. or not to B
I guess we'll see
I guess we'll see
The same love that set me free
Is the same love that won't let me be
To B. or not to B
I guess we'll see
I guess we'll see
The same love that set me free
Is the same love that won't let me be
To B. or not to B
I guess we'll see
I guess we'll see
The same love that set me free
Is the same love that won't let me be
To B. or not to B
I guess we'll see
