I reach out and find nothing
Dust from which we are running
A love that keeps us hurting
His words which keep me buzzing

The farther we part the bigger the holes
The darker it gets, the wider it goes
These walls are made of thick shadows
With permanent ink on my heart he stamped foreclose

Trails of my love exposed and leaking
Eyes stained with tears from gentle weeping
Ex lovers like the paparazzi keep creeping
So many hurdles keep him from leaping

If only he would leave me a sign
Cast a light so I can see it shine
Take my love and divide it by nine
Change the story and write a new line

Our love was born from the divine
It will keep growing on through time
No other lover will ever have mine
I will forever be his valentine
