Here Are My Empty Words for You

no matter what you say to me
no matter how this ends
for one touch one moment one glance
i was loved

in the dark of cold nights
and in the harsh light of day
i simple sit, close my eyes
and remember that time
when you loved me

the memory has saved me
time and time again
from fear and broken hearts
your hand on my waist
and your breath on my ear
just your presence
just the warmth of your gaze

i have faded without you,
darling
without this memory
there would be
nothing
left
but
empty
words
