I open my lungs, dear.
I sing this song at funerals.
No rush.
These lyrics heard a thousand times,
Just plush.
A baby boy you've held so tightly,
This pain, it visits almost nightly.
Missing hotel beds, I feel your touch.
I will wait, dear.
A patient of eternity,
My crush.
A universal still.
No rust.
No dust will ever grow on this frame,
One million years, I will say your name.
I love you more than I can ever scream.

We booked our flight those years ago,
I said I love you as I left you.
Regrets still haunt my hollow head,
but I promised you, I will see you again.

I sit here and smile, dear.
I smile because I think of you.
I blush.
These bleeding hollow dials.
This fuss.
A fuss is made of miles and travels
When roadways are but stones and gravel.
A bleeding heart can conquer every crutch.

Regrets no longer in my head,
But I promised you and now I'm home again.
