Entangled

Take all the noise away,
Leave just one thing behind—
The sound of silence softly playing
Where your soul meets mine.

You and I exist somewhere there,
In a place no eyes can guess;
Bound beyond the world we share,
Our beautiful entangled mess.

Remember me for faster sign in

Thousands of miles apart?
Distance fails the test.
I touch my heart for just a moment,
And you are here, no less.

When sudden sadness finds my door
In the middle of happiness;
When tears appear from nowhere
And longing will not rest—

When your presence is deeply missed,
Yet I still feel your tenderness,
I'm reminded once again of this:
Our souls are intertwined, enmeshed.

We severed the cord—it didn't work.
Yup, baby. That's us.
A beautiful, impossible,
Entangled mess.
