Look at me, please, because all I see
I see inside your eyes
A dark night fades into a soft blue sky
The clouds pass by and the sunlight shines
I can't look away from you.
Tell me, please, how to move through time
How years slip away as days go by
Explain how moments filled with life
Can pass like trees or flowers on a country highway.
Because all I feel is yesterday
And some things fade, and some remain
A fragment of my past and these rushing memories, I am…
Broken. I am not whole.
Tell me, please, how it feels
To touch and feel, to see and hear
In the morning to wake up and see the sunlight
To taste water when rain falls from the sky
To somehow be, somehow to be real…
Because you are real, but I am a quiet echo
A shadow on the floor, an obscuring of light
That hides the sunrise from your eyes.
