Everywhere

Everywhere I've been

And everywhere I'll go

I feel the recognition 

of someone i lost long ago.

You're standing behind my shoulder

But when i turn around

My eager eyes, still seeking

Cannot find a thing.

You whisper in my ear

When I'm in line at the grocery store

I forget to pay, because of your distraction

Tears blind me when i leave.

You tease me with the scent of your perfume

I follow it desperately, like a hunting dog on a trail

Until i see its owner-a woman so unlike you

Disappointment clouds me more than the flowery scent.

The ghost of you still haunts me,

i fear it always will

You curl up beside me 

When i go to sleep at night

I never wanted you to leave

Maybe that was my mistake

Maybe that's why you still linger

Maybe you can't leave.

I hope i haven't trapped you

No matter how much i've missed you

Because i don't think i can bear it

If you never leave

Because everywhere i've been

And everywhere i'll go

You follow me, a beautiful haunting

Tearing me apart.
