Am I dreaming
Because I thought you died in my arms
I can’t imagine life without you
The days stretch out, flat and colorless
Every corner I turn feels alien
Because even though I would go on with you inside of me forever
I know I could never embody your swagger the way you wear it
Even though I would change the way I walk and what goes at the end of my sentences
My attempts would just feel like a costume
Only your legs and voice, that particular timbre, truly held you upright
I love you, but only you can be you
So I want you right here with me, breathing
Punch buggy boo
And when the light of morning cuts through the darkness, I always find out it's just a dream, leaving me cold
Like the mist I feel walking up this breezy street
