[Part two] I imagine you as sand
I imagine that as sand I’ll pick you up and bask in your warmth, because that’s how it felt like in your arms
And I imagined, just like sand, you’ll slip away
Through the very same hands that you once held so tight
Away from my grip and out of love
And what I’m left with behind
Is empty hands with nothing to hold
And all the love we ever had, dust swept away
[part three]
For you were much greater than sand
Although what we had was a different story
When the night cast shadows on the ground
So did the tears fall on my pillow
You slipped away just like that
Although what we had was much greater than that
It was now decay
And it stayed festering in both of us
