I sit beside you and wish you were here
to watch imaginary clouds in purplish skies clear.
To listen to your secret, silent waves and find
your name written all over the shores of my mind.

I sit beside you and wish someplace new,
where I can be me and you won’t be you.
Where you’d look at me longer and really see,
where my body breaks apart, my soul is free.

I sit nearby and watch your roots grow,
while you open your wings of ache and sorrow.
I can almost taste you, I cry out your name,
I’m almost yours but it feels the same;

I’m close enough to watch you dance to a brand day new,
close enough to love, love, love you.
But I’m far enough that you won’t this madness know,
I’m just far enough, enough to let you go.
