before you walked away

today i met someonesame name as youbeen wanting to meet him for a whilewondering if he was anything at all like youyou told me your name was rarenot of where you belongyou pronounced it differently toosomeone introduced it to me in the way you wanted me to call youit feels as if it was a dream

laughing with youbefore you walked away in the midst of our silenceyou still gave me what i wantedthe exactness

and somewhere parallelwe sing in that dim lit bar

was easy to be me with youreflective & introspectivemade a good view for a whileseamless & naturalsomething i was told i'd never havei had it stranger

stranger that someone else shares your namelooking at the oppositeremembering the day i leftknowing i will come back for good soon enoughseeing the train that'll take me theretake me to the life that's been waiting for me so longwill you be there i don't knowfound myself intrinsically falling for the rhythm rhythm of how you speakrhythm beneath your lineseven speaking better in your own

i will keep missing youforgetting that you left in a sudden on purposei'll smile&'ll feel your hands around my waist a safe placeyou whispering the right pronunciation of my nameknowing you've practiced some things i don't want to publish& some between our addictive lines you chose to be a silent addictwhile i was aloud

was okay for a while until i realised you walked outwhoever you are're now forever nothing but a signa letter only we know'm singing 'n the train now alone & eyes on the track

on my way to have everything
