Beside Me

They are still here, and I have already begun to miss them.

Beside Me is about a longing that arrives before the parting. You hear their breathing, hold their warm hand, and hear the dawn drawing closer one step at a time.

Deep love makes us acutely aware of time. The closer we are, the more clearly we understand that no one can truly possess another person. The happier the moment, the harder it is to let go as it is already becoming a memory.

So the song asks nothing of forever. Before deep blue turns to daylight, it asks only that two people still love each other well. Love is not a closed hand, but an open one.
