Gravity



My eyes cannot focus
Everything is moving
Why is this happening to me
I think I like you
Billows of smoke
Rising up from the glass
Bringing back memories
From when we were first together
You took me in
Gave me shelter and trust
You made me crave you
There will never be another
I know that I left you
And was gone away for so long
I would have been back sooner
But now you are all I fear
We'll never be as close as then
When I wasn't able to leave your side
Again I hear you calling
