Blue October

I need, I ache, I burn for you

I stretch, I reach, I hope

For everything in your heart

It's the purest truth

I'm watching you

I'm waiting, endlessly

My heart is breaking

My mind turning

My streets have become

Cold and blue

Why have you promised

Your word?

Why have you promised more

Than you could afford?

Only to turn your back

And disappear behind hidden

Unpolished creaking doors

In my dreams

I hear the echo of your breath

I feel the silence of your step

I need the warmth of your embrace

It's the sudden goodbyes

That have become unbearable to face

When we part

The days and weeks steadily slip by

And, I search my mind to remember

The memories we had started to create

Did my eyes sparkle brilliantly enough?

Did my heart shine through

The distractions in life's disarray?

Can you remember my passion, my heart

Through the minutia and passersby of everyday?

I'm searching for you again

Through mountains

Through valleys

Golden fields afar

My heart rises and falls

With every step I take

With every risk and mistake

I risk it all, if you only knew

Without a second thought or hesitant glance

All for you, now and forever

Risk it all for the chance

To spend my life with you.
