sunflower

You leave the quiet of the night to me So I could dream of you while I'm awake You lay awaited in bed Though never for me I leave the break of dawn to you So you could watch the sun rise in silence Admire the warmth and the choir Of chirping birds, without me You leave at the bird call Leave me here forlorn But baby I miss you I miss you when you leave for work When I wake and find you gone, no longer next to me No longer next to me We live far across a thousand roads Used to be bodily neighbours All that we had was each other Spend our evenings together Playing cards and just killing time Breathing in joy from your smile I bloom like a sunflower
