Life is such a work
Back On That Couch
We're sitting on the couch
holding each other close and
we talked all night long
your eyes never wavered from me and
I couldn't stop listening to
your gentle voice
but that was three years ago.
Right now, we're sitting on the couch
holding each other's hand
watching the television like we always do
nothing seems different - except
it used to hurt when we let go of each other's hand,
even for a nano-second.
Oh I do miss you so
when you are away
but when you came home again
I don't know what to say
("How are you?" seems so lame)
don't know how to feel
(a heartache, a relief?)
only that I wish,
we are back on that couch again.
What happened to those butterflies
that used to tease me endlessly?
What happened to cuddling for hours end,
and waking up in a fairytale?
I guess life took us in its mundane spin
and demanded its price
I guess we must have carefully walked by -
its straight line
trying to pay our dues, and
living our parents' lives
(though we said we wouldn't)
(thought we said we wouldn't)
We've grown so much, learnt so much
but back on that couch
from three years ago ---
in that life of oblivious bliss
is where I want to be with you
again.
-yours truly-
