Using The Shadows

When I thought you loved me
Rain felt like fingers
And I had conversations with the moon
Your eyes were a warm touch
Felt out of memory
Long after you had gone for the night

When I thought you loved me
I felt kissed all day
I used the shadows like lovers
Imagining you there
Skin on my skin, tasting your breath
And sending home the guards of my heart

Didn't have to happen this way
My eyes opened too wide, too late
For every memory I invented
Now there is a truth that burns
And I cannot remember you
Without missing the way
You changed the shadows

When I thought you loved me
I felt kissed all day
I used the shadows like lovers
Imagining you there
Skin on my skin, tasting your breath
And sending home the guards of my heart

It didn't have to happen this way
My eyes opened too wide, too late
For every memory I invented
Now there is a truth that burns
And I cannot remember you
Without missing the way
You changed the shadows
When I thought you loved me
