Plane Ride

About you. I miss you...

The scent of you has long evaporated
From the patterned shirt you left behind
Yet I sometimes find myself clutching the fabric,
As if you're still apart of it
Searching for a shred of the past
From a life I once felt

In my mind, old photographs of time play out in faint flashes and flicks
And once again you're standing there
Hands stuffed into those weather worn khakis, that boyish smirk upon your lips
Standing there like this could last forever
Standing there like it would all be okay
In the middle of the airport waiting room, you take my hand as we count the planes overhead

My tears caress your shoulder
You attempt to dry them with lies
I'm too in love to second guess,
As you promise me the world
Your kisses reaked of poison
Looking back I wonder how didn't choke
It all came so easy to you
Like you'd broken someone's heart before

Dancing over phonelines
Breath blending through wires
I fell in love with a boy who looked like you
Maybe I'm still falling...

The plane flew away with my heart inside
Never to touch ground again...
