every once in a while
I feel your breath on my neck
and yet before I turn around
I know you won’t be there

cause every once in a while
I shiver when I’m alone
remembering each little thing
you’ve said to me

every once in a while
as I lay, ink staining sheets
dripping down as tears
I feel your eyes on me

when once in a while
I close my dream weary eyes
in someone else’s arms
I think it’s you who’s holding me
