Friend
Now that I search for you and you’re not here
I remember
That only sadness wants to talk
With me
Now that the rain has taken away
The last shred of your dress
Now that I’ve forgotten who I am
I remember in the past who I’ve been
If I’ve been what I was, it was because of your body
If I’ve been night, it was your night that wanted it
If I’ve been a kiss, it’s because my lips
Learned to be a kiss for you
If I’ve been what I am, it was in your lap
If I’ve been life, it was to give you life
Friend
Friend
How sweet that word is
How simple that word sounds today
There’s no darker night than this night
And the cold
Is settling in the corners
Of my soul
And now that silence is erasing
The soft vibration of your words
Now that I’m barely anything
I remember what I was when you weren’t here
If I’ve been what I was, it was because of your body
If I’ve been night, it was your night that wanted it
If I’ve been a kiss, it’s because my lips
Learned to be a kiss for you
If I’ve been what I am, it was in your lap
If I’ve been life, it was to give you life

How sweet that word is
How simple that word sounds today
