I'm not a frequent writer but I've had some inspiration lately (namely from the wonderful band White Lies who have amazing lyrics), so thought I'd give it a go myself. This song is, as the title states, a slow modern love song.

I've spent countless hours strolling through my mind.
Sweep away the cobwebs, hoping I can find
those precious memories we seem to share,
filled with laughter, filled with regret.

And you still sit there smiling,
and I'm here all the while in
my, oh my, oh my silent agony.

And even though our love has faded,
I'll be waiting here, breath baited
for you to come around again,
lift my drowsy head and then
set me on my way.

And you still sit there smiling,
and I'm here all the while in
my, oh my, oh my silent agony.

I just want you to lay me down,
find a soft spot on the ground,
lay by my side, stick around,
paint a smile over my frown.

And you still sit there smiling,
and I'm here all the while in
my, oh my, oh my silent agony.

Please let me feel your heartbeat.
