Saudade

The feel of feathers on my skin is enough to drag me in,
Into the place where only you and I dwell
I dream of laughing with you
It kills me to know that dream can never come true
Without you the world I'm living in looks like hell
The eutony of your name brings tears to my eyes
I want to run my fingers through your hair
I reminisce on how we used to tease the other
Tickling and taunting one another
Now when I see people kissing all I can do is stare
When you left I went numb
Food was without taste
I felt like projecting any effort would be an utter waste

The kitchen sink is leaking
Water is dripping onto the floor
I'd ask you to fix it, but you're here no more
I remember how you used to kiss the tears as they ran down my cheeks
And the way you kissed me after you hadn't seen me in weeks
I hate that you're gone
But I'm happy I got to live some of my life with you
There's a love that remains and its a love that's true
