What does it mean?

What does it mean?
When you search for someone you know isn't there
When you listen to a voice no one else can hear
When you wait for the rain under a sky so clear.

What does it mean?
When a face haunts your thoughts day & night
That leaves you neither in darkness nor light
And yet somehow it feels so right.

What does it mean?
When someone's grief makes you forget your own pain
Words spoken so few, yet for eternity shall remain
When you will wait knowing you'll never meet again.

What does it mean?
When trying to pull away only makes the feeling grow
When you remember someone in your prayers, in joy and sorrow
And it doesn't even matter that they will never know.

  1. So moving. I'm inspired, overwhelmed, nostalgic, all at once. And I have a lot to say to you when we meet.
