I remember when your longing belonged to me Every shape an imprint of the mystery I used to lie beneath you reaching out above Ten thousand sighs beyond the pale carried me your love I’m diving deep beyond the sleep where dreams can unfurl Reaching down beneath the sheets only to steal my pearl I knew the weight I knew the fall I knew what waited there Still every time you reached for me I met you everywhere I remember when your longing belonged to me Every shape an imprint of the mystery Beneath you reaching above Ten thousand sighs still carrying your love There are things we leave while wanting them Doors we close then dream behind There are fires we walk away from still burning in the mind Nothing died when I decided Nothing faded when I knew Knowing only made it harder to keep choosing what I wanted to When enough became a number that easy to read I could finally see the answer and still want what couldn't be Truth and desire left on different trains One way still called me the other I took in pain I remember when your longing belonged to me Every shape— every shape— an imprint of your mystery And I still know what it means I just know what it meant Clarity changed where I was going not the place my wanting went When enough became a number that easy to read I knew which way I had to go I knew what leaving meant to me I left the longing stayed I left the longing stayed I left— the longing stayed.
