You'll learn more of me
Sharing silence where I find beauty
Than I could tell you in a hundred thousand words.
I dreamt that if I kept walking the path
One day I would see my soul walking towards me
Unbounded
Eventually, the sun rises
Even in the city
Even on cloudy days when she's hanging out solo behind the scenes and all we know of it is a gradual lessening of the gloom
Somehow the light always gets through
It's time, she says
Get up
Get moving
Find something to live for
Or someone (if you dare)
For all we know she loves to watch us as we hurtle past
Illuminated in our tiny actions
Intricate and and unbounded in a way
Stars were never meant to be
In the full knowledge that you neither needed nor wanted it, I still loved you with all I had.
the answers lie just beyond your fear.
don't stay stuck crying in the doorway.
"Don't be afraid of love," you said
while all along sitting there loving me most of all
Don't think I didn't know
Don't imagine I wasn't afraid
We lived through all this, didn't we?
This love, we survived it all.
Maybe I just miss you exactly the right amount.
It'd be the best feeling in the world if it were real.
It's been too long since we talked about what really matters.
But you know how important it is to give yourself time to feel.
Time to watch the sky and the trees.
And yes, fair enough, you have all these amazing thing to do and to learn - but there will be an end to that, there's always something new.
This moment only comes once and whatever path you choose,
this step is only now and never again.
It was for the love of you that I learned to find my way.
