Empty spaces

Empty Spaces

Sunshine and laughter, banner hanging from the rafter, both

our names in a heart

Promises it seems, have a way of complicating dreams, when

together falls apart

Empty spaces leave too much; no eyes to see and I cannot touch;

the sea ahead looks foreboding

Empty spaces on the shore, can’t bear the weight much more, where

we stood the ground’s eroding

Tomorrow’s ahead for years, we toast everyone with cheers, our

time is beginning

I go to grab you to steal a kiss, it’s just a pillow it can’t

go on like this, we’re s’posed to be winning

Empty spaces need to melt away, enveloped in each other’s

arms to stay, connected from the first hello

Empty spaces can’t define our love, your love I can’t get

enough, gold wrap that finger and never let go

Empty spaces don’t exist no more, rolling with the pets on

the floor

Empty spaces are where we sat alone, no more waiting on the

telephone

Empty spaces turned into smiling faces in private places a couple’s

silhouette replaces

Empty spaces
