It's been so long, you and I
arm in arm
you witnessed the most important parts of my life
held my child at birth
experienced my honeymoon
became my nurse, tender and cautious
cleaning my wounds, healing me
I'll never gorget the times you were excited
and threw your arm around my neck in excitment
or walking in the rain at night
running carless and free in the woods
the secret places we've shared
will always remain secret
the dreams we've shared
the conversations we've had
the courtrooms, the death
no one has ever been closer to me than you
you take away my breath
I'll always remember your perfect frame
that fit into my hands as if you belonged there
The way you comforted me
you rubbed along my back
to aid my restless sleep
Tht nightmares we shared
The way you touched me
My partner in true crime
we got away with so much
so many things you scared and left an imprint upon
on your back i marked the effects of it
because you were meant for me
I remember your young immiture eyes upon my skin
I have watched and shared that mutual maturity
How will anything have meaning
when your memory is gone
and your lips are no longer upon my skin
I'll never hold your child
I'll never hold your hand
You abandoned me
I suppose I deserve it
I'll wait for a call
I'll long a letter
I'll cry for your embrace
