All I Need Is, All I Want Is To Find Somebody

To find somebody like you.  Every night, you stand with me here.

The films in my head have all gone silent

Forgetting your voice and your touch

And with only your images I am reminded

And ever distorted, I can scarce see your face

A blur in the render whenever we embrace

But I can still see your skin in the flickering candlelight

Sometimes like cinnamon

Sometimes blue in the hue of the television’s delight

And I can hardly believe it’s been five years

I can hardly believe that you’re not here

That you’re all the way there

How the miles reflect your apathy…

But I still care

In my mind,

I see lines of moonlight on the floor

And I watch you cross them, one by one

With silent footsteps from my door

You’re like a ghost

The kind I’ve only seen fast asleep,

Or in waking dreams

You come and speak in a quiet tone

Of beautiful things I’ve never known...
