For You
and my eyes are failing.
You know, it's better this way.
I should be leaving.
You know that time marches on
and I'll be singing
about the love that I lost
and how it scarred me.
But, still I remain
a loveless story
and a killer at large
and how you bore me
into this world,
a sea so stormy.
But you,
you walked before me.
Now I'm alone
and I guess for once that's okay.
I can make it my own.
That's less complicated anyway.
I don't even know who you are,
but I will wait here for you
under this light
as long as it takes.
Months go by,
so do the years,
but I'm still here.
Still I'm here.
And, now that I'm older
and my eyes are failing
and as I look back on those years of waiting
I realize one thing.
Now I see this clearly.
I've wanted for nothing.
You were always here with me.
And, now I know.
And, then you'll know.
