My heartbeat quivers, pulsing fast, Whenever I whisper your name at last... Those few words, your sentence so slight, Ignited a spark in the dark of the night. Feels like I’m walking the edge of your lips, Not just with my eyes - such a daring trip. My imagination sweeps me away, A missing piece that is here to stay. On the train, I stare at the empty seat, Where you should be sitting - our whispers meet. But you just stare, lost in a dream, Watching my mouth, or so it would seem... You flinch slightly as the car hits a bump, Leaving some room for this shadow of doubt. It’s just a part of this endless ride, We’ll wait for Arrival, with nowhere to hide. First, I can feel the ghost of your laugh, The missing link between my whole and my half. You slice through the void, you cut through the air, Like a beautiful secret, fearless and bare! No barrier, no rope, no chains can confine, No anchor to hold this spirit of mine. Your energy breaks through, heavy and blue, So simple, so true... Softly you say, "Don’t just look with your eyes," I close them and feel where the tenderness lies. You touch my shoulder, a breath on my skin, Your disembodied voice calms the chaos within. You let me stay close, you don't bar me out, I carried you helpless through sorrow and doubt. This impossible feeling, born from the spark, Grew deep in the quiet, alone in the dark. First, I can feel the ghost of your laugh, The missing link between my whole and my half. You slice through the void, you cut through the air, Like a beautiful secret, fearless and bare! No barrier, no rope, no chains can confine, No anchor to hold this spirit of mine. Your energy breaks through, heavy and blue, So simple, so true... No guilt on this wandering, solitary path, You pass through my mind like a storm in the dark. Like a lightning bolt striking the earth from above, Free and profound, a confession of love... My heartbeat quivers... Pulsing fast... Your name... at last.
