I heard a ghost of your voice

long after you had left the room



couldn't quite make out the words

but the laugh was unmistakably you



now will I ever get the sound of you out of my head?

I guess that I should only be--so lucky



then I saw my shadow next to yours

just fade away



we had this conversation

so many times before



and I know that you are tired

of the same questions but maybe if I keep asking them

the sounds from your mouth will form words that

I want to hear



and I saw my shadow next to yours

fade away
