Under the Blusher

Temporary love

But we made a mess of us 

I miss you in the shadows of my heart 

I keep wondering when it’ll get to the good part 

I miss the sun, the glow, the heat 

The never-ending heartbeat 

It’s shallow when we speak now 

I wish I could fix us somehow 

Maybe we’re beyond the veil 

Ghosts of what once was, set to sail 

I guess we couldn’t have been stronger 

It’s too late now to have stayed longer 

But I still wonder about you, when I picture the cliffs of Ireland 

I wish we had never left that island
