These games of telephone tag
are endless
I'm desperately trying to catch your lips
between mine
and my heart is skipping beats
to match yours
I was never taught how to hold my breath
this long
and I'm practicing this torturing task
with each passing moment
The waiting light in my room
has kept the neighbors up
all week
and I'm holding meaningful conversations
with myself again
All I have to look forward to
is the falling of the sun
so I can find your face in the stars
with what's left of my exhausted memory
Knowing that sooner or later
this lamp will burn out,
along with the light i've built your eye with
won't make me stop missing you
