My loneliness and I...

We talk often
My loneliness and I

It has become my companion

I used to feel safe only in your arms
When you held me
Closer than your own heartbeat
I felt as if nothing could ever hurt me

Now...I hold tight to my loneliness
And it holds me back

We talk often
My loneliness and I

Reminiscing about what used to be
Memories of a time long gone
Though it was just a few days ago
Or has it been weeks
Or perhaps months...
To me it seems as if it were yesterday

When you held me in your arms
When you told me you missed me
When you kissed my lips longingly
When you made love to me...

If I had known it was the last time
I wouldn't have let it end
I would have held on with my dear life

But now I hold on to my loneliness

Yes...  my loneliness and I
We talk often...
Of times passed
Of the love we shared

It is my loneliness that keeps me safe now
It is my friend
It is what I have now
So I hold it...
As if I were holding you

My loneliness and I
We talk often
