Love Lives Here

Shadows cast upon the window by my bedside,
My thoughts swift to an image of a man I thought I knew,
Thoughts I had long erase inside,
Now resurface in my head as new as the morning dew.

I cannot explain my demeanor tonight,
I cannot understand why my heart puts up a fight,
With my mind I try to resist your entrance into my presence,
But these memories are filled with your essence.

It's been so long since I've been apart of your entity,
We had decided in our love we would never bask,
But tonight, unfortunately, I feel too empty,
And to this unexpected feeling, I must ask...

Do I still feel the need to breathe your air?
If this was not to be why do I want you in my lair?
It's been over a year since we've parted,
But obviously this sleeplessness has not departed.

So I try to recollect myself to imagery of a better time,
Still looking out the window; watching the shadow disappear,
And of the memories; I tune them into a chime,
Like the shadow that fades, now everything is clear...Love is still here.
