Fingers through his hair,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Spare me a thought\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In your dying garden,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Tend to our flower<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes\u2019,<\/span><\/p>\n

I run a line through your forehead\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reading the love you don’t speak\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Seek, my eyes when I try\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do pry,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Peek in through the window, will you?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

the rose is still there, in lieu\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of your heart<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Miles, so many miles\u2019 apart<\/span><\/p>\n

Tear it if you must,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trust<\/span><\/p>\n

me, I enjoy putting it back together\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Clasp our hands<\/span><\/p>\n

And tether the string,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It tugs at my heart too much anyway<\/span><\/p>\n

I pay,<\/span><\/p>\n

The price of loving you<\/span><\/p>\n

Collect the change and\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
