10. I GUESS THIS IS GOODBYE
I guess this is goodbye.
I'm asking myself
why did this have to seem so meaningless,
so cut and dry?
It's so damned cold tonight.
I'm so lonely I could die.
I'm so terrified
of life without you,
you and I.

I'll keep my jacket close,
where I can smell you most.
I miss your touch, your smile, your eyes,
and how you took me by surprise.
I haven't  slept in weeks.
I can't stand, I am so weak.
Another night of crying to sleep.
Alone I hug the sheets and weep.

Beautiful rejection, love's one addiction.
Now I have to bend or break.
The simple tones of silence,
of how I wish that I was hiding
from my world and all my shame.

I dropped my own smile,
I will miss it for awhile;
it's on your face, my past disgrace.
When will you come home?
I'd like to visit you.
Your picture's in my room,
right next to the one
of you and I at lunch.

Incredible attraction, love's one distraction.
I haven't ever fallen so far.
I turn around to love you,
you reach right back, and I touch you,
before I realize you're gone.
