PIECE OF MIND

Sometimes I fight these tears

That well up in my eyes

When I realize all the years

I've sat and fantasized

Wished and wanted for more

For the one I felt inside

Wondered for my love

And why she chose to hide

When I'd hear her softly speaking

I'd sit all but paralyzed

Sometimes she'd whisper in the evening

Sometimes she'd call to me at night

Sometimes - she'd fill my dreams

With the essence of her light

I'd wake up to the emptiness

Without her by my side

Now you're here and I remember

See my phantom come alive

See our futures now commingled

Here and now we share a life

The other half that now completes me

The end result of spirit guides

Now we stand in this fruition

Never have to live a lie

No more acceptance of the awful

Now that we're standing here on high

So the tears well up

And I feel them

As they try to get outside

As I breathe in

This whole new miracle

My tears are piece of mind
