Found out this week that one of my girlfriends I love best is moving to Seattle. It will be a grand adventure for her and I'm so happy for her, but I will miss her like crazy. It also seems I can't escape the Seattle connections even when I try. Which brings me to my current state. How do you put someone out of your mind and heart when everything seems tailor made to remind you of them. I'm sure it's a matter of skewed perspective and perception. Maybe when you lose after trying your best it always feels wrong, unbalanced, out of sync. Anyways, I started writing and what came out was song lyrics I think. Just need to find a tune to fit. Maybe I'll make an attempt. We'll see. I wish it portrayed me as a stronger woman but perhaps loving intensly, though apparently the wrong person, is a strength somehow. Enough musing, here are the lyrics to (Update! Been messing around with the piece so below are the updated lyrics :)! )
Seattle Rain
The lines of you still linger
Won't grant me brief reprieve
Your scent hangs upon air
The reason I can't breathe
Fingerprints of careless love
Mark my world in colors of you
Chorus
Thoughts of us still haunt me
Heart bound in ghostly chains
You slip through all defenses
Softly as Seattle rain
Even when I kiss him
All I see is your face
My broken heart still bleeding
Ever persistent aches
Fingerprints of careless love
Mark my world in colors of you
Chorus
Thoughts of us still haunt me
Heart bound in ghostly chains
You slip through all defenses
Softly as Seattle rain
When will I escape this love
That binds me tightly to the past
Screaming, pleading even now
Why did u leave? Come back!
Why did u leave? Come back!
Why did you leave?
Don't come back (spoken?)
Fingerprints of careless love
Mark my world in colors of you
(chorus again?)
Wash clear my eyes with tears
Let them erode away the pain
Let time erase you from my heart
Softly as Seattle rain
