so close yet so far away

I remember Donal
I leaned into him while the TV was on
Playing a peaceful irish band
Woke up in the morning
Sent him down the kitchen
Because I loved his homemade soup
From last night
He drove me home
Drove me back to you
I couldn't wait to have you back in my arms

You remember Dylan
Bought you a jager shot
'Cause you'd down it with him
He was smart
And tall and kind and sweet
You came home to a mug of my tea
Couldn't wait to tell me everything

Your skin feels so good
Only when I knew it not mine to touch
Your hair is so soft
On days I knew it not mine to caress
Your lips taste so good
Only when I have them stolen

Here you are, a breath away
So close yet so far away
And it is only then when I truly love you

I remember Henry
Cheese and grapes on the charcuterie
Woke up in the morning
Bed empty, a sticky note to my right
And a toothbrush
And my phone ringing
From you asking where the hell I've been

You remember Ricky
Drove together and saw the sunrise
Wanted to check out the techno
But he left you
Running into my arms that night
Told me to stay in 'til sunlight
Here, no one would do you harm

Your skin feels so good
Only when I knew it not mine to touch
Your hair is so soft
On days I knew it not mine to caress
Your lips taste so good
Only when I have them stolen

Here you are, a breath away
So close yet so far away
And it is only then when I truly love you
