Grief

every year i fall in love with you
even though i know you don't exist
anymore
still i linger
in all those

yesterdays
those that are brighter than tomorrow
yesterdays
those that are brighter than tomorrow
tomorrow

but even now i'll always find you
i do, i do
longer the days
colder your hand, not in mine
as i stay
still i linger
in all those

yesterdays
those that are brighter than tomorrow
yesterdays
those that are brighter than tomorrow
tomorrow

in a ray of sunshine against her cheek
in his smile from the corner of his eye
in her gentle caress of my hair
in his voice telling me it's okay

in the scent of these hotel rooms

in the rough surface of the carpet

in the tenderness of these wounds

in the wake of this longing
and in their tears

in my tears
