Revenant

"I saw you today in the crowds that poured forth from tall concrete buildings, their thoughts on seeing and being seen at local watering holes. I saw you today and your face was half turned from me, the autumn sun falling across your profile,casting shadows on cheekbones I remember so well. I saw you today, hair lifting lightly in the breeze, hand slightly raised to brush it back into place. I saw you today, uncertain smile on your full lips, glistening and parted. I could taste those lips, smell that sweet breath that blew warm and moist across my own. I saw you today. Risen from the grave of my memory and walking through downtown crowds, confidently shy. How is it possible that I saw you today when you are hundreds of miles away in body and galaxies away in spirit?"

Here Without You
(Music by Arnold, Roberts & Harrell)
A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
All the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, there's only you and me.
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me.
Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done.
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me
