I’ve looked everywhere
Wandered directionless through my days
Called for you in my dreams
Begged the heavens for any clue as to where you could be
I know you’re out there
I can feel it in my bones
You make me ache
Make me writhe between my sheets
Make me imagine so many delicious possibilities
And I can’t seem to get my fill
I can almost taste you kiss upon my lips
Sweet like honey and just as sticky
Feel your skin, warm where my fingertips brush against you
Smell your cologne lingering on the air
It drifts through my mind distracting me from my daily life
Sometimes the scent seems so familiar, yet I know I’ve never encountered it before
I can almost feel your breath tickling the hair on my neck
A whisper lost in the breeze that I can’t quite make out
Sometimes I can feel you right around the next corner
Like you are just out of reach
So close to me and yet
And yet when I get there you are gone
Or maybe you were never there to begin with
But the feeling lingers
The hope remains
Maybe today is the day we cross paths
Maybe you are just down the street
Or the guy in line in front of me as I wait for my latte in the crowded coffee shop
Or just ahead of me on the hiking trail in one of my favorite parks
At least I have you in my dreams
A flash of electric eyes in the dark
A brush of an arm lost in the sea of unfamiliar faces
A name on the tip of my tongue that I call out in the night
And maybe you are searching for me, too
I just want you to know
I’m right here waiting
(Listening to Someone Like You by Adele)
