I remember you right here,
Smiling, full of cheer,
But now your eyes just weep,
Saying joy's out of reach.
I recall those days gone by,
When all the world could catch your eye,
Your laughter like the sunlight,
Your beauty shining bright.
What happened to your glow,
Or maybe to us both?
Could you tell me where I stand,
If there's fault in my own hand?
I waited for you until
I could no longer stay still,
I know I played my part,
In the space that grew between our hearts.
But I waited, legs worn and weak,
With strength I still seek,
I know I should be strong enough,
But my mind keeps holding me back, so rough.
Memories flood my nights,
Of times when love felt right,
Back when we were whole,
Before time took its toll.
Now silence fills our days,
Where words would weave and play,
I reach for what's not there,
In a space we no longer share.
What happened to your glow,
Or maybe to us both?
Could you tell me where I stand,
If there's fault in my own hand?
I waited for you until
I could no longer stay still,
I know I played my part,
In the space that grew between our hearts.
But I waited, legs worn and weak,
With strength I still seek,
I know I should be strong enough,
But my mind keeps holding me back, so rough.
What happened to your glow,
Or maybe to us both?
Could you tell me where I stand,
If there's fault in my own hand?
I waited for you until
I could no longer stay still,
I know I played my part,
In the space that grew between our hearts.
But I waited, legs worn and weak,
With strength I still seek,
I know I should be strong enough,
But my mind keeps holding me back, so rough
If I could turn back time,
To when you were truly mine,
I'd bridge the gap we built,
And ease this heavy guilt.
But here I stand alone,
With memories overgrown,
Wondering if there's a way
To bring you back someday.
