Songs in Bitter Remains

In my dreams its all I see,
every night I know it will be
you and me and the darkness
by which I've fallen asleep
won't seem so terribly overwhelming.

My darling, best friend, my lovely,
I can't bring myself to pretend
that this distance between us doesn't hurt me.
Sometimes it even seems like it'll never end,
I only hope you can feel the waves my heart sends
your way and its message you'll find is easy to comprehend.

Our love, like a lily, keeps blooming
and its so confusing
because it survives and keeps growing
in the steady shade of every uncertainty
feeding off the water of tears unshed
and light from windows with such small openings...

My Shining Knight, the things you say
make me patient while watching each passing day,
knowing that I'm on your mind in some special way
so to the woes of this distance I wont bend or sway.
In my mind I see your face and
from the truth of our love I will not stray.

So in my dreams I eagerly wait
to feel the warmth of your loving embrace,
see, behind these closed eyes I find comfort that makes
each passing night seem not so long.
Until I wake to see you right there,
and you've still loved me all along.

I listen to each heart beat
that tells me my heart isn't done beating,
so I know that this is just one single season
of change that's going to usher in
some bright new day
that the Lord has made.

So I will trudge along, proudly and faithfully
I will remain where I've been called
even though its far from my home,
the gift of your love
is what keeps me strong through every passing day...
but it won't make the pain go away.
