Beyond the sea

Love lost over distance

Stepping out far beyond my reach
Over waves and through the clouds you fly
Here I remain avoiding our little café by the beach
And sleep troubled in the bed upon which we used to lie

Keep breathing in your memory with every move I make
Then breathing out such a steady hopeless ache

I can’t seem to control my broken train of thought
Lingering in a dead stare, tears cascading relentless
I thought you were the one that in daydreams I always sought
Now my eyes are red and I’ve got the shakes I think my hair’s a mess

I still love you though you stole my heart across the sea
I just can’t stand an empty chest please send it back and let me be
