You call out And I call back Anticipation Palpitations And then I disappear And I’m gone so long

Then, I come back Like no time has past Only to disappear again

My bed in the living room Rattling A/C Fear of a hurricane In a water-stained room It makes me think of you Reminds me of the time we spent The days I pinned for you Imagining you touching me When I didn’t know your face

But I’ve got dreams so much bigger than me I gave them up before For a man whose face I scarce remember And I can’t start again Until I do this thing for me And so, I’m hard to reach Because I’m reaching so far

I’m besotted With the dream It’s all I know It’s all I want Consumed by desire I can’t think straight Nothing will stop me this time And so I’m hard to reach

We came from far away

We came from up above

We searched the stars

We searched the comets

We searched everywhere


To find a place

To rest our heads

To rest our hearts


But “look” I cry

“Look at that.”

We’ve finally done it

Home at last

There was frost on the window

And your nose was cold

So I planted a kiss upon it

Your hands were warm

And you kissed me back

We drank hot cocoa

And mourned for Laura Palmer

You filled my head with empty words

And my heart with butterflies

You threw your arms around me

And I melted at your touch

We had coffee and cherry pies

And talked until dawn

There's frost on the window now

And Frost on the tv

And I can't help but think of you

Nothing makes me long for something more

Than a reminder of its lack
