It's Left Me Feeling Tired And Exposed...

Give me just a little bit

so I can explain how your voice
brings me up and down at once.
Remind myself that I love you
while wandering here alone.
Songs of longing linger in the air
hovering upon my lips
but never given voice.
Little by little the world's
colors blur and fade
because I can't find you in the fog.
You think you know what I feel
think you know who I am
but I'm always changing lover,
and the world won't stand still
not the way I wish it would.
I'll wait for you though
I really don't mind
because I want to be here
always waiting for you
in a constant game of catch up,
hoping to live up to what you want
and knowing I'll always be just short.
