Love
I like singing with you
when your music moves us both
I love you like the walls love glue
Like the word loves an oath
When our heads dangle
When our arms weave
When we untangle
Each time I know I won't see you tomorrow
Whenever on your shoulder I lean
You paint my mind blue with sorrow
Like that time I had you in my dream
I missed your stoic yet loving ways
When I could smell your absence
And when I cried for days
I don't like talking of you in the past tense
So in order to make amends,
I think of dancing with you
Because the music moves us both
Like words that love what's true
Like blood that needs the oath
And though I don't need you to survive,
In your arms, I like to breathe
And feel so happy and alive
Each time I leave
