dust untouched

this room

In this room we let time pass by,
I have watched your breathing,
I look into your eyes,
and I held you closer even when you cry.

I can remember the way
You give me your little smile
As I brush away a lock of hair
and you give me a kiss for a dare.

As the music plays
in the background
We danced, we swayed, 
We got lost to the beat,
but found one another
In each other's arms.

Can you remember the way we sang together?
With the tune we released all the truth we can't hide.
With the melody of our song we suddenly realised,
That together, we created music;
We were our own song. 

I also loved to watch you fall asleep
And see as you're high up in dreams.
When the nights got darker and the clock strikes 3,
In your half-conscious wake you reach out to me
and in response I reach out closer to you
the way a child reaches out for his teddy bear. 

Every time I looked at this very room
I reminisce the memories of jubilee;
Little moments of being carefree
As we know it's just you and me.

But now it is the very room
That contains the memories that will ever torment me.
All I hear are the echoes of your lips against my skin
And so much laughs and smiles we shared together. 
Oh, how we felt so free. 

You would always take my breath away
But at the same time made me relax.
Now? The concrete is surrounding me,
And I don't know how I will breathe.

I am trapped with the imprints of you
Within these four walls,
Within this room,
When I used to be safe
Within the comfort of your arms.
