If I could only burn half as bright as I did
in the days that I was on fire for you
I'd light the world for days on end
so that even the sun would envy me.
The empty tokens of my love would'nt fall on deaf ears...
they would'nt echo in empty halls...
they'd never seek an audience in empty eyes.
The one thing I'm sure of is that they would be gathered gently as if they were fragile children
and nurtured like the spring does life.
That's you through and through.
I can't explain why...
I can't even understand...
how hours spent with you in an ocean of days and years
can stand out so clearly as some of the most memorable.
maybe it's just something in you I instantaneously recognized when you came my way...
...or when I watched helplessly as you passed me by.

Where do you hide it when you're busy with work for days at a time...?
