Midnight Cruise

When you, all night, drift a gaunt smile across my dreams

To the dim afterimage that lingers, I reach out a hand for no real reason

You should’ve come more often — why do you make me this lonely

You should’ve turned around and looked at me

I feel like I’ll forget, like I won’t see you again — I just

Navy dawn, the cruise ticket — only one — and all I can do is stare at it

In ivory sunlight, only the dried tear streaks and a soaked pillow are left

Ah, so you came and went

Late morning, in my drowsy sleep, you left behind only a sorrowful heart

At a fading memory, my eyes get hot again for no real reason

You shouldn’t have come at all — why do you make me miss you this much

You shouldn’t have looked back at me

I miss you even more now, I’m hoping again — I just

Navy dawn, the cruise ticket — only one — and all I can do is stare at it

In ivory sunlight, only the dried tear streaks and a soaked pillow are left

Ah, so you came and went
