In the alleys of yesterday
the most vivid memories of you replay
15 yrs but your scent still lingers
Strongest in the morning
before the coffee gets made

Words are useless on days like that
I hate the rain and warm fire
That feed a burning desire
To have you back here in my arms
All the intrusive thoughts but
This much is clear

Hours of talk therapy only taught me
To let go and let you rest in peace
But my heart still bleeds
Apply pressure but what will be will be
I tried to separate the two
But that like like parting the red sea

And let me offer my apology
For all these years of crying in my sleep
This reality without your touch
Has been at times to much
So tonight let me have this rush
Let me recall your name and forget my pain
