remember, love, the night we spent
under the stars until morning light came
remember the words we said all night long

remember, love, the way I look at you
I promise, promise, promise - it’s always true

remember, love, when you uttered those words
unexpected though it was
there’s nothing else I wanted to hear

remember, love, the night we fought
I don’t think I cried
but I never again want to feel that way

remember, love, your raised voice
mine tied in knots on the other end
next to you is the only place I want to be
just to feel the touch of your hand.

remember, love, everything I say
because all the words ring true
over and over and over again
I want it to begin and end with you

remember, love, the way it feels
to hold my hand in yours
remember the things you say to me
when you hold me and I cry

remember, love, the way it tastes
to touch your lips to mine

remember, love, the way you looked
into my eyes the first time.

remember, love, when I write
you always play on my mind.
remember, love, when you sing
somewhere I’m listening

remember, love, the way I melt
when you’re close as close can be

remember, dear, the way it feels to be in loving company.

I could listen to you for ages,
tell me a story - when you talk it’s all I hear.
A million things to worry about
but all I see is you.

Halfway to another halfway point
and the end is nowhere near.
Something else to think about,
but all that’s playing on my mind is you.

a million problems in the wide world,
but god knows willing or not,
my thoughts are with you.

The road is long but not open - hours to think,
mind trapped between skyscrapers and bums

I didn’t look back, I don’t know why.
I wonder if you watched me leave.

your voice is what I hear in my dreams
it catches me and carries me and keeps me safe.
the weight pulls me but never down.

My best friend is a hundred miles away.
loud and happy and proud
smiling and talking and telling stories.

lost in a world of people who don’t know,
but I think you do.

Lost and lonely, but somewhere I find a home
between the look in your eyes and the touch of your hand

I hope everyone we know looks and laughs
I hope they all think it might not last
because in the end that’s fine with me

I really don’t mind so much (about what they think).

Stars drowned out by city lights
flicking cigarettes while the birds sing
smoke dances, halos

later never comes
sooner stays within reach
lovers’ embraces
touches lost in blowing winds

twinkling displaced by loud laughs
long breath, miles away
missing you like tomorrow never comes

moon sets, sun rises
just like the day before.
misplaced voice in a loud crowd
too far away from arms close by
