With every breath I’d took
I knew he wouldn't stay.
promises gone like leaves to the wind
calling out names and forgotten graces
to those too deaf to listen
Alone,
loneliness takes me.
far from heaven
and the freedoms he gave me.
drifting from the dreams I've had,
the hopes he cradled
when I'd forgotten him,
the wishes he'd whisper
when I was afraid.
So far from everything I had
watching the moonlight shimmer
in the midnight wind blown boughs
I’m whispering wishes he can't hear
crying dry tears
All over again
If only he knew
how his words can sing to me
how only he can comfort me
how with him I can almost pretend
I've forgiven myself
for who I am
