Running in Slow Motion

by Bugg   May 4, 2008


I run to you in what seems like slow motion
And I feel like I'm trying to breathe in the ocean.
I reach out to grab your hand and you disappear
And then I realize that you never were there.

I play my music and feel your ghost on my fingertips
I sip my brandy and my tongue longs for you behind my lips.
You are here in this room and I know I'm not alone
Feeling you here makes me feel not quite grown.

I step into the dark and sit quietly in the rain
You're really messing with my brain
You should go, I'll stay behind, I don't know you now
But with my being dead and you're living, I don't see how.

**Not very good, but whatever... Hope you enjoy it more than I did. lol

    ^^ I like the way you tried to express the feeling as similar to breathing in ocean... the pain could be felt...
