Its that time between dusk and dawn
The time for lovers
To rediscover one another
This is time I miss with you
When we had endless chats
Time when we laughed
as we tried not to wake the neighbours next door
(God I miss your laughter)
And when I was feeling blue
You’d get up and make me a brew
and climb back into bed and snuggle
me in close to you so I could breath you in
(God I miss your smell)
I sometimes used to count down the hours
just to be alone with you
But now things have changed
The bed feels very strange
without you lying here next to me
I can still picture you engrossed in a book
Whilst I waited patiently for you to put it down so we could fuck
(God I miss the taste of you, I miss the softness of your skin)
But now the time between dusk and dawn
Is spent thinking about you
Its a time when the tears that have gathered all through the day finally flow free
Its a time for me to write down over and over
To summarise how I feel about life, how I feel about you, about us
But so many times I cross out what I want to write and start again
I often wish life was just as simple
That we could cross out all the bad bits and start over again
Because I want if I’m being honest, is to cross out what went wrong
And for me to be lying next to you,
watching you whilst your engrossed in your book waiting patiently for you to put it down
Because its that time between dusk and dawn
The time for lovers
To rediscover one another once again
