Flitterwochen

The happier I am with you, the more miserable the world becomes,
In your absence, in your presence, everything fades
And all that remains is a gradient shadow of what used to be.
Where I feel anchored pressed against your chest,
With my face in the soft skin of your neck,
I achieve flight in your absence, aimless and endless.
The warmer I feel between those hardened arms,
Or listen to the drumming your heart makes,
I am lost and annoyed at the silence that deafens me in its absence.
You calm my worries and my fears, quiet so many of my doubts,
My every fantasy is true, you've brought them all to life,
And I'm afraid to go to sleep for fear of missing out.

You are my every hope come true, my every fallen star,
Tell me how to cope, my dear, when I'm not where you are.
