It’s been years but you still linger on me.
You’re in my hair, on my lips, and in my smile
You’re tucked away behind my eyes, in my dreams, and in my nightmares
When I play, you’re what unsteadies my heartbeat
Your sweat, your blood, your skin on mine
And an encouraging pat on the rear.
When I fight, I have the strength of two
Twice as strong as when I fought you.
Twice as soft and twice as hard
Even when I iron, I feel you holding me.
Swaying my hips from side to side
Teaching me how to work a crease.
Because I feel you everyday
When I’m with someone else, I remember
And it makes me afraid.
Only in the shower do I ever feel clean
And only then do I feel lonely.
But as I step out naked and look in the mirror, you’re there again.
I come home every year hoping to see you
Maybe if I did, you’d break my addiction
Maybe you'd break me
Maybe that’s why I never called.
