i want to
reassure you
to tell you
that i remember
us
that i wish
i could be there
even for a little while
but i'm afraid my words
will only make things
worse
i don't want to open
healed wounds
i don't want to hurt
the very heart
of you
and i have to protect me
so i watch
from afar
and i love
from afar
and i pray for your protection
each night
but i wake in
the days
and i walk through
my haze
bottling up what feelings
i feel
what's real is always
down the street
(live)
