Now That You’re Gone, We Both Know What It’s Like To Feel Lonely

Do you have someone to share this vast loneliness with? Do you have someone to live out this world with?

My eyes close and flutter, dreams or nightmares, of course nightmares, of course nightmares.

I dreamt you came back into my life, and I eventually gave up being mad at you

You wake up with a start; if you look backwards and walk, you’ll crash, don’t forget, life is a series of memories you’re trying to relive but can’t

All these things I feel when we’re together are all the things I never knew I would ever feel in my life

So after we part one day in that place where lovers part, I won’t chase after your voice, trying to feel something that no longer exists

I feel like the bird falling with broken wings

You underestimate what people in love can do, so don’t worry and don’t look back

So many kisses to give and take, so many words to say, so many silences to share, but what about the pain?

Is it so bad to be different than others?
