Night and day, day and night |
One melds into the other |
Time frozen and gone in an instant |
Nothing changes, as everything's different |
Constants disappear |
Yet variables make clear one fact: |
I'm without you. |
Pain is motivation to hold us back |
Life getting in the way of living |
Distraction creating distraction endlessly |
Losing sight of goals, wants, needs, emotions |
Self-consumed and careless |
Knowing only the jaded truth: |
We hurt, therefore we are. |
What is wasted, what is distorted |
What we need, we have |
Though we are left wanting |
We lack courage, not caring |
We miss faith, not love |
Mistakes are our defense: |
Hearts in armor. |
A light touch, a brief smile |
A warm song on the breeze |
Voices intermingling |
Bodies intertwined |
Heat, fever, romance, passion |
Gentle, sweet, feeling, kind: |
These are everything. |
Naive and foolish, I stand grown |
Tempered with the past |
Bright with hope of the future |
Weeping with regret |
Standing strong to carry on |
I live without to have later: |
I love you still. |
