a Lang Leav Compilation

I found you when i reached the seven sea.

Just as i had stopped looking.

It seems a lifetime ago that i began searching for you.

A lifetime of pain and sorrow, of disappointment and missed opportunities.

All the things i had hoped for, all the things i can never get back.

When i am with you.

i want for nothing. 

Then I feel the end is drawing near, would time be so kind to slow?

You are everything to me my dear.

You are all i really know. 

But as i sit and wait and fear and watch the hours go

i saw a dream long lost to me in search of another's waking.

As my heart was breaking and i sighed and wept for what could not be and for all that could have been.

For all the time I’ve known you, to the present now our past.

i know never to forget you.

Though a regret still pains my heart.

Had i known i would not have left you alone beneath those stars on the night when i last saw you not knowing it was the last.

i still search for you

in the crowds,

in empty fields,

and soaring clouds.

In city lights and passing cars,

on winding roads

and wishing stars.

Yet it is you that i havent learned to live without,

And i still love you anyhow.

The day you left i went through all my old journals,

frantically looking for the first mention of you.

Searching for any details i can no longer recall.

The memory of you is fading, a little at a time.

i can feel myself forgetting. But i dont wanna forget.

My eyes were the first to forget,

the face i once cradled between my hands now a blur.

And your voice is slowly drifting from my memory.

Like a fading Polaroid.

Years from now I will be asking myself my love are you well?

Past the sea and the swell out in the world where the danger is fraught.

Here are the things i want for you,

i want you to be happy.

i want someone else to know the warmth of your smile.

To feel the way i did when i was in your presence.

i want you to know how happy you once made me feel.

Yes i love you,

i swear it on every single grain of salt in the ocean - on all of my tears.

i did not take you with me,

but you were never left behind.
