And I felt you so close

You were always so close.

I could feel your hot breath on my skin,

sending shivers down my spine.

I could feel a ghost of your kiss on my lips.

I could feel your fingers in my hair

on my cheek,

calloused from the rough strings of that battered acoustic.

You were always so close.

But one day I woke up

and one day I realised

you were never close.

You were gone

because you'd never been there.

But I felt you so close...
