I saw your reflection
In a puddle of rain
There was nothing to stop me
From calling out your name
Still I hear your whispers
Traveling on the wind
Your words never had weight
Even the air around you was thin
Your words were nothing but vapor
From the mouth that I kissed
Your words were nothing but vapor
Their meaning was lost in the mist
I was tracked by a specter
In a dress of deepest blue
I ran all night to escape it
A shadow shaped like you
In a city haunted by memories
I feel you everywhere
I can’t escape your absence
You’re here but never there
I pass by the places
Where we kissed in rain
I can’t feel you touching
But I still feel the pain
Acts of love in the morning
False promises all day
You’ve already left me
Now it’s time you went away
