I sit at the
only place in my world
Where I can begin to think again,
Sorting through
All of the emotion
All of the pain…
Looking at what you needed
That I couldn’t give
All that I ached to give you
If only in another time
Without the baggage I now carry
You showed me a new way
To begin again
To walk in my own light
You loved me for who I was…
And through that, I loved me too
Simply being myself, with you
I was always so fond of fairytales
Being swept away by emotion
Waves of passion
A fire burning so deep that
In it’s wake…
I can see only you
I’ve known the lingering warmth
Of your love
Of our dimension…
The place I’ve found so simply with you
Hearing your voice
And closing my eyes
Transported to another time
It was in real time for me
Our time
I understand…
Wishing my heart weren’t
Sitting there still
On my sleeve
Needing to walk away, to keep my pride
When all I really wanted to do was to
Run into your arms and never let you go
I said goodbye…
When what I desired was
To hold your face in my hands
Kiss your lips
To take your breath away
And let you see what you truly are
To me
Instead, I sit here, in this place
Watching you walk away
Understanding why...
Only wishing that things were different
