Recognition’s Consequence

I cling to your belief, the words
In such a subtle suspension
And I wonder why
Yes, I wonder how
How I can lie here in awe
Delight in how you tell me
Our love is now quite gone

Chorus:
How something so real can hesitate
Waver between our lives
And now the one giving it away
Is the one who stilled it first
How can it be you…

I never knew this illness
Was a second birth, of course
For my fever never killed me
Happiness never does
I’ve discovered all too perfectly
Why I don’t care to remember
A day without your laughter
A night without your warmth

I was never good at recognition
Though the texture of your touch…
My cells memorised long ago
I always noticed, never thought
Why or how our eyes would linger
As if to stroke each others soul
I never knew we did just that

Bridge:
Let me know, don’t let me imagine
Love expressed
Just once, one moment
How you can hesitate…
But then it’s you

Always you
