i love you

 
delicate are the notes I'm harmonizing to
tender feelings inside me bring tears to my eyes
I lie when I say I don't cry
they fall from my eyes when no one is looking
an honest reflection of what I'm feeling
only the spirits see the ghosts who follow me
into the shadows where I weep uncontrollably

inside me I'm breaking
I miss you
it hurts to feel the blues
it's my heart singing to you
I love you

within my sanctuary I see your face smiling sunshine
you bring the light
you don't even know what you do
in your embrace I am always
comforted by your grace

in the darkness I am still
calling you to me with my soul
there's a restlessness inside me
I don't know what to do with my hands
I'm still reaching for you

an anchor in this sea of loneliness
in my lonely hours
my feelings stir
I'm haunted by the ghosts of our years together
all the times we laugh
all the times we cry
are echoes of the past
following me around capturing my tears
