Closer - Bertine Zetlitz

You’re closer to me than I’ve ever been

You move so close

You’re skin beneath my skin

I will melt with you

Water seeping through

You’re closer to me than you were before

And I can hear you breathing at my door

I will melt with you

Water seeping through

This day is quiet

I can almost hear your name

This day is quiet

I will never sound the same

You’re closer to me than I can recall

And I will take you with me when I fall

I will melt with you

Water seeping through

This day is quiet

I can almost hear you smile

This day is quiet

I can almost scream a mile

Feel me

Heal me

Soothe me

Breathe me

This day is quiet

I can almost hear your name

This day is quiet

I will never sound the same

Water seeping through
