Up in the Air

A piece I wrote during a trip about the one I refuse to forget

My heart still clings to your song
As though you are somewhere near
It has not been especially long,
But it already feels a year

I only receive a half of solace
To say the sun we see's the same
The air I breathe is not as sweet
When it has no echo of your name

I'd lie if I was to say
Not one has caught my eye
I'd also lie if I was to claim
I hope you're with a guy

Life's rhythm is not one to fight;
With its baton we must comply
I can't prove that we'd be right,
But I would like to try

Now there is no ocean between us,
But your voice I still can't hear
To live my life without your sound
Is but one of many fears

I've no images to look on
Nor a way to say hello
I haven't found you in these clouds
Nor did I see you below

Hairstyles I see are my best excuse
To imagine we can meet
Then each time my lips just sink
When I don't get that treat

If one said something's gone
That would only be half true
I can't say I want it back
As I gave that piece to you

I confess I fear to declare
That you and I are bound
For other men it'd seem unfair
As crazy as that sounds

Sharing a home and name
Would surely make my life
My heart is yours to claim
If you would be my wife

My arms would be yours to wear
And I'd gladly lend my ears
We'd share burdens to bear
and our golden years

There's much I still don't know
So I'm left without a clue
Of what to do or where to go
To find my way back to you
