Hasten Slowly
Sitting here in silence,
I try to clear my head,
I hold my hands in front of me
And slowly take a breath
I see you, sadness,
Come sit beside me on my chair,
Be touched by this golden sunshine
In this warm October air.
Let me speak aloud my thoughts to you
Let me paint a picture of a time,
Let me tell you a little story,
Some of the best days of my life.
Cause I can’t shake the thoughts of him
That permeate my mind
And fill the subtle darkness
I see when I close my eyes…
The arch of my lips is sore from our laughter,
We never once thought of our before or after,
I know what I feel, I don’t really care why
But I curse every mile between him and I.
I don’t really care that I cannot define
Why he constantly permeates thoughts in my mind,
For the distance between us, I’ll try not to grieve,
I will just hasten slowly, just breathe…
And when I least expect it; a thought of him will make me stop,
They run in front of me wherever I choose to walk,
They interrupt my every word when I try to talk,
But I welcome the wave of joy it brings when he floods my thoughts.
And I feel him here though he’s so far away,
It’s as if we’re reaching across time, stretching across space,
We’ll meet in the darkness of the place in between,
We’ll dance in our memories, walk in our dreams.
And I didn’t question why I was so drawn,
And felt each emotion as it came along,
And these thoughts of him, they’re refusing to leave,
So I’ll just take my chances, just breathe…
I don’t really care that I cannot explain
The reason I’m so drawn, the reason I crave,
Your voice and your presence,
It’s nearly insane…
But I’ll take a breath and thank you again,
It’s too easy to love you, just breathe…
And we’ll just hasten slowly, just breathe…
