A Duet by: nottooold2 & Dana
I wish I could still feel
Your touch on my skin
Your lips on my lips
The joy of holding you close
–
I wish I could forget
The tears of our regret
When my kisses faded
Leaving your needs unmet
–
I wish I could still feel
The warmth of your body
The happiness you shared
Your breath on my neck
–
I wish I could forget
My whispered denial
Of promises never meant
As we lay together, spent
–
I wish I could still feel
The tingle of your fingers through my hair
Aimlessly drifting and twirling
As we drive with no destination in mind
–
I wish I could forget
All your dangerous curves
I failed to navigate safely
The dead-ends filled with sirens
–
I wish I could still feel
The ocean breeze on our skin
As we lay naked on the beach
Under the moon and stars
–
I wish I could forget
the sandy abrasions on my knees
as I pleaded for another chance
to silence your saline good-bye
–
I wish, above all, I could still feel
Feel everything we were back then
The good and bad, the highs and lows
Feel everything without the all-consuming feelings
(I wish I could forget there was an end at all)
