Write You Down

I wanted to write you down
I couldn’t find the words
To describe the way you are
All I had was
A faceless body
Something untouchable
Intangible
Something of it’s own nature
A small fixed idea
So strong
I felt it coming
Before the wind
blew open the door

Before I let myself in
To ask you for more

I wanted to write you down
I wanted to keep you
To trace the lines
To fill out the shadows
I had only a memory
And a blue Bic
It could’ve gone wrong
But I wanted it to
Have a valid chance
Slip through the cracks
And watch the simple strokes
The pen knows how to dance
And I know
I felt it coming
Before the wind
Blew open the door

Before I let myself in
To ask you for more

I wanted to write you down
But then I wanted more
