i had not wished to lead you to solace or to follow you to hopes but to be by your side to walk the paths as rain would fall as the waves of chance lap at our feet but that could not be as long as his shadows you keep never intended to take his place nor to be everything except in face but just to see you happy happy and yes, beside me and though i love you for love's sake of holding on to what this love can take the man in me sings this song that i could say to you i belong but that could never be as long as of him you are not free and how it hurts to see you wish for his smile, his touch, his kisses that you miss of feeling you breathe in pain for he never comes everytime you call out his name me standing there knowing there's mothing i could do but to let you be, to let you be you you are too good to remain unloved, and so i will remain though every moment feels like standing alone in the rain for there is no more sweetness in your voice for i hunger as i painfully miss our simple joys of talks under a clear black night of those memories where everything felt so right the shimmer in your eyes, the song in your words oh how good it was to be in each other's worlds never intended to lead perhaps to plant a seed so that we can have a shade so sad, for as i remain... ...i too have to fade.
