In the dying light

Of an empty room

With the window open

I have dreamed of you

When the evening enters

Like a dark perfume

I am shadow-breathing

As if emptiness could fill me



In the quiet heat

Holding back the rain

I am outside waiting

And I say your name

To the storm inside me

That will still remain

When the sky is empty

And the world goes on without you



The moment leaves

Almost as it came

The feeling stays



In every way that you were beautiful

In every way that I refused to see

I find a reason to forgive you now

And leave you

Inside me



In the holding on

And the letting go

Is the way you lose

And the way you grow

When the feeling enters

Like a wounded ghost

Let the night be gentle

When I say how much I miss you



The moment leaves

Almost as it came

The feeling stays



In every way that you were beautiful

In every way that I refused to see

I find a reason to forgive you now

And keep you

Inside me
