I dreamt of you today. a faceless, nameless, you
I touched your face today, I whispered to you
I held you close to feel you with me
I told you that I loved you, I wished you told me too
Wish today would come again soon

I thought I ran my fingers through your hair
I wished for you to stay today
You were here, in my head, in the air, all around me
Wish I could touch you, feel you the way
The way I want you, the way I need you
I thought I told you I loved you
A faceless, nameless you

Why do I see you if you don't exist?
Why do you persist? Why can't you go away?
I thought I told you I want more than this
I need you more in every single way
I thought I told you I love you
I thought that you were here
I wished you would hold me the way
The way I thought I did
The way I never did

I thought I touched you today
I thought you held me up and told me
I dreamt of you today, I dreamt I told you I loved you
A faceless, nameless you
