Puzzle Pieces

Maybe it’s just my anxiety,
I’m worried that you have to leave,
So I’m wide awake all night,
Unable to get any sleep.

Then I think back to when I could just knock out,
Wrapped up in slimmer arms,
Face in fluff hearing his heart,
And all I felt was warm.

“We fit together like puzzle pieces”.
That’s what he used to say.
Hands in hair, not a gap left,
Nothing but love in the way.

But now you see me try to cuddle closer,
And debate rolling me away.
Just feeling your gaze will wake me up,
Because I know that you can’t stay.

I miss the nights when he’d only let go,
Just so he could spoon the cat.
And I’d hold them both, my heart so full,
Nothing in the world could replace that.

I know some of it’s the anxiety,
The fact that I know you can’t stay.
So I can never get any rest or sleep,
The way we did day after day.

Cuz we fit together like puzzle pieces,
And I was my most peaceful then.
And I don’t wanna keep looking backwards,
So how do I find that again?
