phantom kisses

in my heart
i kiss those lips
gently, passionately
yet in reality
they've never met mine

in my heart
i kiss those lips
and whisper a broken
Goodbye

he doesn't need me
he never did
no more playful notes
no more deep toned calls

i can read between the lines

was it all in my head
were the feelings real
was i just a toy
was i just a game

i knew the score
when his soul touched mine
he never could be anything to me
except what i made him

phantom kisses
will haunt my heart
for what should have been
that can never be

for what i dreamed
that will remain in dreams
for what my heart wished for
that will remain silent yet true
and ungranted

in my heart
i kiss those lips
and whisper a broken
goodbye
