Hello

Hello (Forget the Candles)

I never thought we’d see this again
Though I’ve had half a mind to pretend
I never thought to tell you how much I needed you

Hello, again

We made a most harmonious pair
When you took flight, I wasn’t prepared
Small pleasures lost their value
Once I’d been cleaved in two
By the debut of your Peter Pan
Who hid behind Prince Charming
But your timing’s nice
How could I say no?

Hello, I’ve missed you

Nothing yours is ever taken away
What disappears returns eventually
Safely makes its way home
What is yours cannot be taken away
Whatever vanished momentarily must come back someday
Yours and here to stay. Home.

So, hello, I’ve missed you madly

Shoved off our cliff, then salvaged mid-air
The subtle ways you’ve shown that you care
Forget the candles, hold me
Just like I dreamed you
