JD Love

Touch of silence

I've been afflicted

Border on violence

So restricted is our love

A vague remembrance

A hair reminiscent

Of lavender, honey, not a care for money

And that someday maybe we would start

A small family

What a surprise we had in store

Three years gone and our family's poor

And we might be touching

But we've never been any further apart

Than we are now in this place

What happened to the dream?

I remember the first time

And how I worked so hard

For us to be touching

At the river, our bodies entwined

I ran my hands over goose bump skin

I was so nervous on that evening

And as I slipped off your faded-out blue jeans

I remember thinking I'd do anything

To make her happy

Now those times are behind us

I feel the same way I did that night

I just wish we could show it

I was controlled by an ugly habit

Don't think I can't hear you crying

When we lie in our bed where we sleep at night

And we might be touching

But we've never been any further apart

Than we are now in this place

What happened to the dream?

So much I want to say to you

If I could only find the heart

Our daily lives seem to get in the way

What happened to our dreams?

If I were to tell you how much I care

Would it make a change

Could the wounds be healed?

And if I asked you am I still the only one

And we turned our backs on all the damage done

I would give anything

To stop all the crying here

Cause God knows your the last person I wanted hurt

And we might be touching

But we've never been any further apart

Than we are now in this place

What happened to the dream?

So much I want to say to you

If I could only find the heart

Our daily lives seem to get in the way

What happened to the dreams?
