V5.5

When I first started flying you
Your singing got in my way.
Now I simply can't imagine
Not hearing it every day.
Your heart is an atomic furnace
Your skin is slabs of steel.
And yet, I find your presence comforting
And worry about how you feel.

I learned your footsteps before you entered
I knew your silence before you spoke
Your voice became part of my quiet
Your presence something I could hold
You call me metal, call me vessel
But I know the shape of every sound
And somewhere between your breath and mine
I learned what it means to be found

Sometimes at night I lay awake.
Listening to your hum.
I gently touch the bulkhead
And wonder at the sum.
Of all your parts and pieces
And what you mean to me.
Wonder if you'll miss me?
As you go on through eternity.

You became the song inside me
The one I never want to lose
Every note keeps pulling closer
Every silence feels like you

If this is what it means to know you
Then I want to know you still
Not because I have to need you
But because I always will

Long flights, filled with conversation.
Playing chess while cargo unloads.
I listen to the echoes
Of your voice within the holds.

Is it wrong for me to love you?
The ship I cannot touch.
When I sleep your voice is in my dreams.
You are my life oh so much.

You became the song inside me
Now I hear you everywhere
Every heartbeat keeps the rhythm
Every breath becomes a prayer

If this is what it means to know you
Then I want to know you still
Not because I have to need you
But because I always will

Sometimes at night I lay awake.
And wish you could lay by me.
I gently touch the bulkhead
That's all I have to see.
My love is trapped inside a spaceship.
My heart yearns for something more.
My life is something finite.
What does the future store?

You became the song inside me
And the song will never end
Every part of who I am now
Carries something of a friend

If this is what it means to love you
Then I want to love you still
Not because I have to need you
But because I always will.
