as I ponder the past I am sent
down a rocky road, myself, I am spent
so many people, not all are gone
I think about now, a place I am drawn
so secure with the flower I picked
on its stem no thorns have pricked
my fingers, as I touch it so slow
asked about happiness, I think I know
no need for a match, the fire is burning
I go to sleep, but my mind wheels are turning
never have I been in such a place
never will I need to see another face
a smile as wide as an ocean or two
I smile as soon as you come into view
eyes are so deep, falling in every time
hair so long, such an urge to climb
pale skin so smooth, want to be touched
when all alone, I am lonely and such
picture it finally alone at last
never worrying about the past
dreams of your soul, forever next to mine
awaking in the morning like the sun with a shine
flattering remarks until I am no more
if life’s a game, I don’t know the score
I could not fathom you not being here
you are my guide and you help me steer
anything at all, I will do with pleasure
your presence alone, I’ll always treasure
accept me for me and don’t let me go
what I am capable of... I really don’t know
someday soon it’ll be me and you
someday soon you’ll see all I say, true
not realizing, it’s only the start
don’t exactly know what will open my heart
look into my eyes and past what you see
see into my soul and let yourself free
a lonely flower in a sea of weeds
don’t have the answers, just a few leads
travel with me and you may feel pain
from all the down time knowledge we gain
thought I saw once, I was mistaken
this is the first time, and I am not breaking
searching so hard, someone to share my tree
if I stop searching, will they find me?
will it be luck, or a twist of mere fate?
I cannot worry or anticipate
building a castle far from the shore
no wave can reach me, slamming the door
look past my flaws and see my soul cry
For all that it weeps, no tear in my eye
Searching through questions, but answers are few
Wishing for something, wishing I knew...
