Pieces of the Puzzle
Folder:
Love another day gone by,
another night is on the rise
i feel the darkness wrap around me, blanketing me in the stars i hold so dear
but tonight is seems different somehow,
the stars are brighter,
i feel it grip a little tighter,
and im warmer now.
was it the things you said last night?
(they made me cry, you know)
tears for you,
but tears i want to cry
do you see how i care for you?
oh please say you do
tell me you love me darlin
promise me forever and today
ive told you this a hundred times
and a million more to come
but i just keep stumbling on the words
never finding the pieces that fit
pushing the puzzle together
but even distorted and jagged, its beautiful.
everyday i take another look, rearrange yet another piece
i never could make out just what it was supposed to be
i just knew that it was a jumbled mess
the answer would be revealed when everything was right with the world.
(please give me a reason to try)
well these pieces are coming together
another one slides
shines as it locks into place
a strand of red, a flicker of green
finally, a picture forms
and i feel my eyes start to swell
that face is so familar...
thought for sure itd be some kind of riddle
or the meaning of life
but no words were needed
not when i see my future painted in the green eyes i find myself so often lost in
love me now,
kiss me again
help me with this jumbled jigsaw ive struggled with for so long
misplaced pieces taunt me
but ive found some along the way
as this picture comes together
i begin to see why the pieces never fit before
and i wonder why it took so long to find you.
i smile at you and let the past fall away
and its so beautiful
look inside darlin, can you see it?
its a picture of you and me
a portrait of untainted happiness
my eyes still shine, but no longer of pain and torment
look at me now, they shine for you
now and forever this puzzle will remain
forever and today you mean everything to me
always and forever, just stay by my side
for forever and a day, i love you always
