Journey To You
Don’t take yourself away; I can’t bear the pain,
With you by my side, it’s sun but without, it’s rain,
Only rains like bullets are for a soldier,
As you pass by, I feel the warmth ceasing and life is colder.
Let me fool myself, let me see roses in desert,
Let me feel the coziness of the sun at night,
Let me breath underwater, let me walk all alone,
On this lonely road thinking it leads to your home,
Which it doesn’t and I know I’m walking towards a grave.
This road is dark with no street lights, full of pitfalls,
But I can’t stop because my legs follow my heart
And my heart towards where it hears your call
Can’t prevent knowing it’s false,
And I’m not moving on with ‘maybe’ on my mind,
I’m not walking on ‘just incase its true’,
Known about the closed door and lights off,
No, I won’t come up and give a knock,
Where you are happy and smile freely, it’s my home.
With you lying beside me I dream,
And it’s so real and intense I scream, I get awake,
Don’t find you beside so again I close my eyes.
I’ll live fooling myself you are mine when you are not,
I’ll smile thinking you are happy,
I’ll sleep assuming you are dreaming the sweetest dream ever,
I’ll survive knowing you are living a life which I could never.
Even if my road ends at your home and my eyes
Sees the open door with the lights on,
I’ll not knock, no, I’ll never,
I’ll be at ease and rest for the first time
I’ve found my destiny,
You are happy…
