Except

Together feels so natural
except when you're not there.
You vanish in a second's time
and leave but just a stare.
Your body sits alongside mine,
but who knows where you go;
Connections disconnecting us,
our friend become our foe.

The cool light shines upon your face,
revealing your faint grin;
I know I didn't bring it there.
I'm lost amongst the din
Of silent words and tacit thoughts,
cut off from what you see.
Your fingers push us far apart,
tear you away from me.

Return to me at last my love,
if love there yet can be.
I long to live inside your thoughts;
reveal them all to me.
You by my side is not enough
I cannot think it fair.
Together feels so natural
except when you're not there.
