Years Ago

(Verse 1) It’s not the heat, not the flame Not the rush of lust or games It’s simpler than the world might guess Just a head on my chest A hand in mine, soft and slow The way she’d breathe, the way she’d glow Fingers tangled in her hair Now there’s nothing, just cold air (Chorus) I just wanna feel again The weight of someone leaning in Kiss her forehead, close my eyes Forget the years that passed me by It’s not about the bedroom light It’s needing someone through the night To hold, to laugh, to stay Like she did… years ago (Verse 2) I’ve tried to fill the space with friends With work, with songs, with hollow trends But touch is more than skin, it’s soul And every day, I feel the toll I used to be someone’s safe place Now I drift through empty days A quiet kind of desperate ache That no one sees until I break (Chorus) I just wanna feel again The warmth of being more than friends To brush a cheek, to hear her breathe To lose the need to make-believe It’s not about the sparks or show Just wanting not to feel alone Like I did… years ago (Bridge) I’m not asking for forever Just a moment I can treasure Someone real, someone near Someone who’d whisper, “I’m here” (Final Chorus) I just wanna feel again The peace of loving without end To play with her hair, hold her tight Fall asleep in softer light I’ve waited long, tried to be strong But I’ve been empty for too long I just wanna go… Back to love… like years ago
