Where I should be, I shall not be
Where I wish to be, I will not find
Where some want me, I shall avoid
Where you find me, I shall enjoy
Our time will not be the same
This life diluted by such a childish game
We have no hope to meet each other
Greet each other
For when we do, our looks defeat each other
Find your heart within your chosen lover
For this time is imperfect
It is a failure by force
Take heed that you should love yourself
No more reaching for another
Reach into your heart, your mind
Find yourself willing to be kind
Lies betrayed are all we find
Define your character with truth
Who you are, grasping at stars
Not lost, nor forgotten
Known for decades unknown to some
They cannot take our past with their present
What is true may not be right
Still worthy of the willingness to fight
Incapable it seems
Through the warm light that glows
Brighter, hard and painful does the white light shine
Not mine
Never to be, not for me
You will see
This new world is brokenness
I stand defenseless with my outspokenness
Belonging to another place
As I see your face
It all becomes clear with nothing to fear
Only your memory to hold dear
So long as this memory of your voice is found
My choices will be bound
So long as the words whispered softly while alone
So many hours and days to months upon the phone
So long as they exist within my mind
You will be the only comfort that I find
So long, so long
