~ If You aren't There ~

If You aren't There
7.12.04/8.06.04

Floating in the universe
In the ecstasy we dream, alone
Thoughts swirling in the unborn irrelevances
Lingering, like the ghost of your touch

Trace the fingertips, together
Lingering like sketches
Etched into me
Like the elation
Of such less irrelevance

Trace the fingertips, alone
Of constellations falling
Lingering within the reach
The clutch of a humanity-
So deprived of the elation
Born of such lesser irrelevance

And I could be happy
And I could smile
No more tears, for a little while
I could laugh forever
But why would I be happy if you aren’t there?
Why would I be happy if you aren’t there?

I don’t want to laugh without you
I don’t want to cry without you
I don’t want to smile without you
I can’t breathe without you
I don’t want to love without you
I can’t live if you aren’t there...

Floating in this universe
And you aren’t here.

<--- fall into my patterened tears... [return]
<---<--- catch me as i fall? [CS]
