I know why you removed me
I share in that torture
-
Peace has not come from self-preservation

You were always hoping for my action
I was always waiting for yours
-
Patience and faith have equal value

Every time you sent a signal I saw only smoke
Every time I took action you heard only words
-
Timing is everything, only if we are nothing

You wish I could see you through this
I wish you could see me through that
-
If hindsight is clarity then I will live in your past until you see me

You wanted space so you could choose me
You wanted the decision to be yours
-
I really did give you everything

Significance has turned to secrecy
Anger to anguish
-
Things don't end, they manifest

I've brought up the past enough times to know it will sink my mind
You've pushed away our future enough to know it won't leave your mind
-
The present alone is our ship; I can conjure a cool breeze if you will make a sail

I can only see you when my eyes are open
You can only hear me when your eyes are closed
-
Is it any wonder why we resorted to our hands?

We grasped at each other to build memories
Now we grasp at memories to build each other
-
Gravity is the greatest friend to brick and mortar

We need time apart
We need time together
-
Each other's necessity

You've read every word
Well so have I
-
I never stopped checking, nor should you

Can't stop counting the days
Can't stop counting on days
-
We will always add up
