Do Moleskine do endorsements?

This one is for bardling. who asked if I'd thought about writing it after she read the words to the first Dr. Who inspired song I wrote today.

I hadn't.

Then.

Missing A Heart
Words: Mike Whitaker
Tune: to be written. more piano, I suspect

You have his eves
You have his hands
You have his hair
The way he stands
And you remember every little thing we shared
You know my name
You know my dreams
You know my needs
Or so it seems
And you know just how to hold me when I'm scared
But still something isn't right
About the way you kiss goodnight
As if we're always stuck an inch apart
Though you're with me every day
I know you're oh so far away
There's a universe between...
... me and your heart.

You have his laugh
You have his wit
And yet I know
This isn't it
I suppose I should be grateful even so
I'm not a child
Nor am I blind
I know that you
Were left behind
For me, but yet it doesn't help to know
But still I'll carry on
Despite this feeling it's all wrong
Maybe we can try and make a start
Reassure me when I wake
That this isn't a mistake
There's eternity between...
... me and your heart

I know you're him
In all but name
And yet it isn't
Quite the same
Even though you know the words he almost said
Your hands are red
With blood you spilled
Humanity
That made you kill
And that's why he left you here with me instead
For I know that you'll grow old
Before the sun and stars turn cold
Immortality won't drive us two apart
This is punishment for you
Did he mean to hurt me too?
There's an empty void between...
... me and your heart.
