away from me

You sit ten metres away from me as you play your piano. I daren't look at you for fear that I might be right. I've known you for so long that the expression on your face is imprinted in my mind where it will stay forever. I know exactly how you look: your lips clenched tightly together in utmost concentration; your bright blue eyes wide open, searching for something beyond the music, something you can connect to. I try not to think about the dreams I have of you.

You're so far away from me most of the time that when we get this close I let myself begin to believe that we might still have a chance. That my dreams weren't just dreams.

I talk to you for hours in your eden.
And as I reach out to touch you
My voice resounds, hollow; empty; talking only to itself.
I should have known.
I'm miles from where you are.

I never thought it would be like this always with me This toilet is connected to the internet silently fading away
Waving goodbye And she flew halfway across the world for those five minutes Love Me or Leave Me talk myself down
