Stardust Lost In Fallen Dreams

From One To Another

If I could

I would tell you tonight that without you there is no rhyme to my reason

That you are the last thing on my mind

I'm sorry that I can't be strong to show you the smile you loved

Staring at the mirror I see who I used to be

I won't let go of what I can be

For somehow right before my eyes I will find the truth

That even as you are my first thought as I wake

I go about my life and try not to think of what could have been

I won't let my life crash around me any more

I can rise from the place I often find myself lying

For even without uttering a single word I can but try

My love I will stand before and beside you if you will let me

Or if I have to I shall turn away

I can let the dreams take flight and not look in your eyes no more

I'm not going to run for I always stumble and fall

I am but a girl and you are but a boy

Made to love, made to learn and made to cry

As your heart beat fades I can take a faltering step

For tonight I am as weak as a newborn babe

When I look in your eyes I see the life that I thought I needed

I can see the rooms, the walls and windows of home

That fade to the dust in my finger tips

My darling,

I walk to you with one step and move away with another

Misunderstanding and misdirection playing with my every decision and dream

Let me say now for I am sorry

That I cannot walk away no matter how hard I try

The pull on my heart is too great

The desire in my soul to find peace too overpowering

Forgive me my weakness and protect me from the strength I have yet to learn to have
