I feel you standing there
Fingers slide across my face
A gentle kiss to my lips
Then you gather me in haste
The moment suddenly shatters
Time barges in, getting in our way
Yet somehow I’d still been convinced
That you would surely stay

It’s hard to trust again
When someone ceases to care
When suddenly they leave you
As if you were never even there
And it makes me wonder
If I should ever try again
Nobody knows the hurts
I’ve felt deep within
To most I’m just a face
As common as can be
Just an ordinary girl
Who most will never see
I walk through this world
Forgotten and unknown
This is what it’s like
To be dismissed and alone

My curiosity
Has been cured
The boundaries
Are no longer blurred
For the truth
Has been revealed
All those illusions
No longer concealed
And I’m better
Than before
Finally happy
For what’s in store
What a difference
A few weeks can make
When you’re finally
Wide awake

On the hour
Most every day
I know you’re never
Far away
If only in thought
You’re still there
Someone I hold
So very dear
A loyal friend
Sent my way
Someone I think of
Night and day
True friends
Are rare and few
And I’m just so thankful
I have you

Lack of love
Hurts my heart
Why can’t people
Ever be smart
Can’t they see
What they’re missing
Love is more
Than just kissing
With genuine love
Souls connect
Hearts entwine
There’s no neglect
Is it so hard
To love this way
This is all
I have left to say
