I can’t be without you.
If I close my eyes,
I’m at the bottom of the ocean.
And as I’m sinking further down into the sand, I can see you looking for me.
If I close my eyes,
I’ve been staring at you for the longest.
An entire universe has passed in between my fingertips,
and you’re in the beginning and at the end.
If I close my eyes,
I can try to catch you glancing,
because I heard that you love me,
there’s a sea of questions buried deeply in your mind.
If I close my eyes,
my mind keeps walking through the forest,
someone told me you’d be here.
Though this winter is slowly burning,
I hold grateful that you love me.
If I close my eyes for just an instant,
I can feel your lips upon me.
