Remembering

THE STORY:
A short fling.  Never knew how great it was because I was looking over my shoulder.

THE LYRICS:

You always gave the safest hugs
When I was a hurricane
So it’s not masculine
To crave protection and restraint
To lay in bed
And dive into the way we’d breathe
It never bothered me
When you’d leave
Remembering…

You were always ten miles from me
I never tried to reel you in
The constant search
For something better
Distracts the calms we could be in.
To sit across from you
And need no words at all.
The scope of all my dreaming
Made you small.
Remembering…

You danced alone…my eyes spread
You slept alone…in my bed
You said you’d pay…I get you back next time
Well I paid…cause there never was a next time…

So we didn’t capture it
With our no attention spans
And your ghost is in my sheets
But I feel nothing in my hands
One’s chasing one becomes invisible
One never knows just what to do
Remembering you…
