Dream of Me

i want to say goodbye.

oh, how you tasted of
stars in the night,
lit my whole body
with light of a hundred
melting worlds, sang
to me with the
sweet song of the seas.

your fingers orbit my body
like the moon
around the earth,
everywhere
not quite touching.

(my whole body
trembles when you
are near, like the
ocean reaching for
the moon.)

if you see me
somewhere in the endless
world, oh, pass me by.

i want to be your everything,
i want to be your world.
i want to be your lover,
i want to be your only one.

but, oh, if you see me
somewhere in the endless
world, please pass me by.

don’t even whisper my
name into the night.

i want to say goodbye.
