“I Love You Too”

I call your name into the dark.

Hoping my echoes, find where you are.

The silence, only betrays me now.

A thousand stars couldn’t show me how.

But you said you loved me too.

Not dead,

nor alive,

just enough,

to see you in my eyes.

I would’ve loved myself for you.

Your face lingers in the air.

A phantom touch, a whispered prayer.

Chasing shadows, like a searching thief.

But they never turn to look back at me.

But you said you loved me too.

Not dead,

nor alive,

just enough,

to see you in my eyes.

I would’ve loved myself for you.

All the words I never said.

An unlit match, inside my chest.

I’ll carry your ghost, I’ll carry your light.

Through every endless aching night.

But if you’re out there, I hope you’re free.

Even as is it tears through me.

I’ll hold my love, I’ll hold it true.

You made me love myself for you.
