And They Say Time Heals

When I pass your house
I still find myself veering towards
The curb
I look for your car
I fight to keep from beeping
The horn
Sometimes your light is on
But that’s not your light anymore
And sometimes you’re home
But that’s not where you live
Sometimes I see you walking
But that’s not the person I knew
It isn’t you there standing on
The curb

We fell so long ago
I practically forgot we had ever taken
The fall
In fact, it’s been so long
It might as well have never happened
At all
Perhaps that’s what hurts the most
Even though I no longer feel it
And perhaps that’s what’s wrong
Even though we can’t make it right
Perhaps one day I'll finally realize
It isn't you there standing on
The curb

The Moon Up High

The lines of your face
On the white pillow spread
Stops my world from turning
As the train billows ahead
The moon is up high
Looking down on us two
The sun in the morning
Will light the way for what we do
Your breathing is slowed
I can watch your chest as it heaves
I’ll kiss your lips softly
And hope the moment never leaves
We’ll ease into our day
Together, hand in hand
For this is our portrait
And forever shall it stand
The stars are all diamonds
They’re shining just for you
And I’d pull them all down
If you only want me to
The lines of your face
As I lay next to you
With the moon way up high
Looking down on us two
