Up all night
In video chats
Silence dawns, taking deep breaths
We'd sleep through.
An empty house
Nothing but me
Then your voice
Through speakers and
The buttons of a keyboard clicked
Don't need a face
Just this
So gentle and kind
Strawberry tones and lilting grace
Heartbreak
Melding hands, we wrote fine tales
Explored brand new lands
Built a home on words alone
Communication, isn't that what friendships for?
Your story sparked something in me
A rarity born
On demons shared
Where I was young, and you were old
It seemed to me we were infalllible
I loved you.
Don't need a face
Just this impossible fate
Two beings so far away
Connected by letters
Till it's heartbreak
Maybe it was the thought that you
Loved me as much as I loved you
That no matter what, it was you and me
Eternally.
Because I know I said some vicious things
But you led me on
You Mourned me
When I wasn't gone just moving along
My doors were open, but yours were gone.
So maybe that's why it felt so fucking wrong.
Don't need a face
Breaking a part of me
See flashes of you in songs
And now I can't escape.
You told me to stay. To never leave.
I gave and I gave, but it was you who left.
You gave and you gave, but you couldn't take.
So maybe that's why in the end you did.
Forgiveness was never a thought in that.
What was that bond except all gone.
Who before has given you the choice?
I saw you then, I still see you now.
Don't need a face
To know that I used you
Don't need a face
To feel that maybe I was too
That perhaps we could heal, but that options gone.
They whispered mean words, disparaged all we had.
Unfortunately I didn't understand that.
So now you are gone, and here I am.
Years can go by, but I'll always miss you.
