Have you ever loved someone so much that it crushed your soul?

That it burned in everything from your heart to your whole?

You want to touch them, feel them, see them, you wanna be with them

Love seems like such a rare thing, you want to grab it and keep it, while you can

But just as you go to grab it, someone else comes to snatch it from you

Every day, every thing, every place reminds you of him

You can't do a thing without him in every inch of your skin

He covers up all your thoughts like a large red drape and you have to take a look

You just can't obey them after all they took

You tilt your head up, you know what you had once was true

And with relief you see him staring right back at you
