Like the Love (We'll Never Know)
8.04.04

I can hear the rain fall
Like your heart beat
Like the footprints you left
Embedded into my fragile soul

I can hear the rain fall
Like the tears overwhelming
Like the love I’ve never known
But bottle up so well

Caging, containing
Sending my secret messages outward
Inward, within the release
I’m smiling
But I’m still caged beneath bars
Of a love we never had

I can hear the rain fall
But maybe it isn’t quite so real
And maybe it’s something equivalent to a dream
That fades in and out as eyes open

I can hear the rain fall
But maybe the tranquility is forsaken
And maybe we’re emptier than even my past
Sitting on a shelf, up so high

So high, away from me
Away from us
Away from the city lights
Shimmering and glistening
They’re taunting and tantalizing
Forever. Always.
The love we’ll never know...

<--- fall into my patterened tears... [return]
