Being There

Being There

We hold each other tight; I whisper in your ear...

I'll always be here, Angel

You take a step back and look at me

You're my true love, Thausta

We face each other holding hands

We'll always be together

You won't meet my gaze

I love you, Thausta

You let a hand drop and look away

I promise I'll be there

You turn away, setting your other hand free

I want to see the positive, Thausta

Out of arms' reach, you're walking away

No matter what, My Love

You look over your shoulder and pause as you go

I can't imagine my life without you, Thausta

Standing here alone, I speak into the silence:

You'll always find me here... If you're here to find me...

It's kind of hard to love you when you're not there

I really do love you, Thausta

It's too hard. You were here but you were gone

You drifted so far, I longed so much for you; I was so sad

I wait a long, lonely time before turning at last to move on.

Good luck, Thausta. Goodbye.
