Grapes

I told you
All those things
Unintentionally
I lost myself
When I lost you
I lost so much

When I stopped waking up by your side
I lost my sleep
I lost my dreams
Without you here
I lost the taste of being loved

I lost the sense of things
The flavor of things
I cook just to feel you near
But I'm never whole
I don't have your raspy voice
Complaining like you're mad
If I don't use your soul-spiced bowl

If I can't find you
Then I can't find me
I lose my hunger
I can't just be

I see time spilling
I live life dreaming
Of your kiss
That's the only way I see you

In every past memory
In every drop
Of rain
Even in fresh laundry
And in that bunch
Of grapes

I told you
All those things
Unintentionally
I lost myself
When I lost you
I lost so much

I lost the sense of things
The flavor of things
I cook just to feel you near
But I'm never whole
I don't have your raspy voice
Complaining like you're mad
If I don't use your soul-spiced bowl

I see time spilling
I live life dreaming
Of your kiss
That's the only way I see you

In every drop
Of rain
Even in fresh laundry
And in that bunch
Of grapes
