The Ways
The Ways (3/27/2008)
I sit alone in this room and I wish that you were here
I would hold you so close and wipe away our fears
We would never shed a tear that wasn’t out of joy
If you could be here, the girl that makes this boy
Cause your face replaced the void that I could never fill
The pain spilled on my soul and I could not find the pill
I’d hide behind this skill as a mask of my security
To conceal the imperfections, the flaws and my impurity
With every line assuring me that I would never find you
The girl I didn’t know, but the one I’d hope to climb to
The perfect single woman to erase my incompleteness
And it’s scary to admit it, but I love you and I need this
Cause you’ve sorted all these pieces with love as spirit’s reason
You put me on the road again, you’ve balanced the uneven
You’re the source of all my strength, but that smile is my weakness
The way it melts my heart, God, I never want to leave this
And I want the world to see this, to stop and pay attention
To the way we fit together and ascend into perfection
The way we take direction from these hearts held in connection
And the way that we’re both better cause we’re sharing every lesson
It’s the way you make feel that makes it hard to write this
Cause the feeling’s so amazing and it’s so hard to describe it
I want to make this perfect and make every word astounding
To explain it all to you, the way my heart is pounding
It’s the way my heart is shouting in every single beat of it
Your beauty and your smile and your love are what completed it
Excuse me if I cheat a bit when I fall into cliches
But every one seems fitting because of you these days
As I fall into these ways of happiness and gleefulness
Rising from the ashes of a past full of deceitfulness
And as you stop to read through this, I hope that it will hit you
That I really truly love you and I always want to be with you
