Black and white piano keys
Sing the haunting melody
Simply captivating, your smile
Means everything to me
How dare you leave to become
Only a memory to me!
Slip through my hands like sand
Slip through my hands the way you almost
Slipped my mind, until now
You always find your way back to me somehow
Counting sheep to fall asleep
Hopelessly dreaming of the day
I will be back in your arms
But as I wake to an empty bed
With empty sheets
And goodbyes in my head,
I realize I may never again
Feel your heartbeat
Through your
Plain white tee.
