You Were in Sweden on my Birthday

You were in Sweden on my birthday

And for that, you were severely missed

You were already in tomorrow

When the moon gave me my kiss

The sun set down swiftly

As she sprinted towards your shores

I knew my dull horizons

Had been sucked dry to feed yours

My heart sat in the corner

Reluctant to meet my sleeve

I tried to lift her spirits

But you were nowhere to be seen

The atmosphere turned around me

The discomfort wallowed through

My heart was just as distant

As the ground that held yours too

You were in Sweden on my birthday

And for that, I shed a tear

So now there are two oceans

That separate us, my dear

And two is more than plenty

It is two more than we need

So I wait until our oceans have withered

For next year, we’ll be freed.
