postcard home

i needed time today

and i needed space

and i found it all on these barren waves. i could have called you to say i was gone

but i never felt like i needed to. i needed peace today

and i needed space

and i felt my time slip into the glaze

i reached behind me to grasp where i've gone

and i found that you were there all along. i don't leave cause i don't need you

i leave because i do

and everyday that i'm away keeps me coming back to you. i'm not asking you to sympathize

just know that i wander. yes

i roam sometimes. i needed faith today to run by my side

to stay through the wake when two lives collide

and two yellowed sentiments await my return

one tear stained postcard and love i don't deserve. i don't leave cause i don't need you

i leave because i do

and everyday that i'm away keeps me coming back to you. i'm not asking you to sympathize

just know that i wander. yes

i roam sometimes. i needed you today

i called out your name

but you were not there you were far away. you were not there

you were far away. someday you won't be so far away.
