Only Our Shadows Will Follow

I sit here alone with your pen in my hand

You’re ten miles away, but I still feel your arm around me

Ink seeps through my paper like water in sand

While you dream if we could ever be

 

Meet me on the corner of South Broadway

Three weeks is too long without your warmth

You’re quite the ninja I must say

The sound of your name makes my pulse soar

 

You treat me with care like I just might break

And though I’m not sure why,

I stumble for more

Your laughter is as soft as the breaths you take

 

Grab my hand and we’ll run away

Where only our shadows will follow

We race through the horizon as my legs give way

You sit by my side as our breathing becomes shallow

 

The skyline turns a shade of purple

As the sun sets above our heads

I hope you can’t hear my heart flutter

It’s easier done than said

 

Play me a song in this grassy field

And I’ll watch you fingers dance across the strings

Your velvet voice is my shield

Against any sign of guilt still lingering

 

The clouds of your breath pump through the night air

As it melts the wall of tension and keeps us warm

I still don’t know why you care

But this feeling just keeps me wanting more.
