It’s hard to witness
you with another’s embrace,
so often I turn skyward,
to veil the truth's tender trace.
She lingers—yet I breathe
the whisper of your name,
searching shadows for fragments
where your love still remains.
It burns—this silent ache—
to not need you near,
to feign a stranger’s poise,
to mask the truth sincere.
My heart races,
my breath holds,
caught in the spell
of a glance untold.
Not kissed by your lips,
not cradled in your arms,
yet every thought knows
it’s you who charms.
Return to me,
-return to me.
I hunger,
I ache—
no force can undo—
it’s only you.
Lonely hours
softly weep
beneath the weight
of your ghost’s keep.
I taste the shadow
of your lips’ caress,
hear the echoes
of your voice’s confess.
I crave your touch,
your flame,
your scent—
your sweetest vice.
Return to me,
return to me.
So gentle your hands,
a balm to my soul,
each touch a promise
making me whole.
You held me like no other,
a love unrivaled, true,
and in this heart,
there’s only room for you.
I seek your spirit
in strangers’ arms,
find you only
in dreams’ alarms.
Lost in silence,
mad with need—
without you near,
come back to me,
come back to me.
