PAT
I dreamed of you last night,
How I wish you were with me now,
But life never seems to smile at us.
Your face wanders with the clouds and
As I look up the wind takes you in its arms
And carries you away from me,
And you are all there is to know to me.
As the tears fall who will be there to catch them?
And when I stumble who will steady me?
This tight-rope gets longer and thinner,
Gossamer thread please don’t break
I really have to get to the other side.
How can I lose so great a part of myself
And not suffer?

I shall shout my love to an empty parking lot
With time left on the meters.
I shall shout my love to……..
I shall shout my love……
To…………………
I shall shout…..to whom shall I shout?
I’m part of the game, but where are all the players?
I’m part of the world, where is the communication?
Sitting playing solitaire dreaming of a partner,
Listening to a speech, never seeing the speaker.
I will wander through a park and talk to the trees
As their branches bend toward me
And it is not the wind that makes them bend!
Then people shall call me mad
As I pick up a leaf and imagine it’s your hand.

I’ll chase a rainbow until it breaks the dawn,
And as the sun rises in my face
The fields kissed by dew shall accept my body
And wash rivulets of sweat from my skin.
I’ll stand on a mountain – top and compare the wind’s caress
To that of yours on my face as tears are wiped away.
And I’ll wonder why we seemed to go so far…..then stopped
Searching for a reason why we did!

Then I’ll pray for the answer that I’ve held on my lips
Since that first drunkenly exchanged kiss
On a beach called Castle, down round Tenby way.
And I know that you won’t fully understand
What I’m trying to say,
Hurt can be so painful to me….perhaps to live
Thinking about how things might have been is better!
A lot of things will change….but I can’t allow them to
Until I say ‘I LoveYou.‘
