Come back
As you were

But please

Stand still while you move
Don't cut your hair
Don't let it grow long
Don't wipe this sad smile off your face as you kiss me
again
Don't even move your lips.

Come back
Just like this memory
Careful not to step on my thread of thoughts
And don't change the light as I try to recreate the set.

Come as you were
I will be as I was

There is no present for us
Only past and future
Memories and dreams

So don't come back as you are
Come back as you were.
