i think of you
in fall
even if you don't think of me
at all
you always wrote better
lived happier
grew stronger
loved deeper
than me
over and over again
i saw the spirit of creativity
take over you
and magic would fly
from your eyes
your fingertips
your feet
your very soul
i think of you
in fall
hair blowing
in the wind
gracefully like
the ocean
i don't know how much
you mean to me
but i often stared
and tried to learn
(turn)
i ask you
every night
what you do
without me
and as you tell me
what you think
are the boring details
i picture you
working
walking
writing
planning out your
next move
and the next
the imaginations
makes this damn distance
shorter
this dark night brighter
and this dull hope
vibrant
in what could be
once this sickness
is through
and life begins again
so babble on, sweet one
in short words and long
don't worry about making
things fancy
just remind me of the you
you cover inside
surround me with what
makes you free
(be)
sometimes
you give me
too much hope
and blended
conversations
become idealized
dreams
where we walk
hand in hand within
the same mind
blissfully unaware
of the differences
inside
tamping down
thoughts of
"why must i...."
averting our eyes
from the inevitable
fall
(stall)
when you don't know
how to answer
sometimes that's the answer
when you can't tell
what to say
sometimes that's the way
when you can't respond
in the normal
maybe the question's abnormal
when you don't know
how to be
fly free
who knows where you'll land
(hand)
i don't think you love me
i think you love the me
that you fill in the blanks with
when i'm not there
reality me is too much
for too little
and too loud
for too soft
and so far away
from what you think
i am
be what i am
and see what you're
really missing
when you miss
the dark
of me
(free)
you floated
inside me
for only a moment
yet i felt your spirit
throughout me
heart beating strong
with each passing
day
until my body
betrayed you
i dared to dream
about our future
to-gether
you dancing on air
among us
singing your own
unique song
for the ages
the fact you change
the world without
taking one step
speaks volumes
if only we could have
heard your voice
dream
(hush)
