Time

you were obsessed with the taste of my lips
you loved the smell of my perfume
you said my eyes were beautiful

when you left

i wanted to cut off my lips and give them to you
i wanted to give you my perfume

you tell me the view is beautiful
you never want to leave
you tell me that I would love it

my shoulders still have bruises
you used my body as a ladder
climbing farther and father
I couldn’t see you anymore

maybe one day I will walk the earth again
bare feet, the mud between my toes
maybe one day I'll hold your hand again
pulling you close to me
maybe one day I will see your face again
the one who taught me about love
