In Silence

I'm trying to say

In a silent way

I miss you always

With good enough eyes

On a good enough day

I can see you far away

And fall down as I stumble upon your grave

I like to think you somehow got away

Exactly what have you turned me into

By saving my life?

I meant what I said last night

As your legs reach down from the sky

No exit wound, it's still inside

What I'm trying to say

In a silent way

I miss you

I'm sorry

With good enough eyes

On a good enough day

I can see you with me

It's nice to think we'll someday meet again

That one day I could know you as a friend

But there's a river that lies between us

But they build bridges

To march across your stitches

We built an island out of stones from the field

When we came back, it was further downstream

It came to me in a dream I had

But it's dreams like that which sent me mad

I'm just afraid like the rest of us

You don't believe that you could be loved

So I'm trying to say

In a silent way

I miss you always

I'm trying to say

Though the words escape

I love you, I'm sorry

With good enough eyes

On a good enough day

I can see you so far away

Though you and me might not be truly free

The day I'll always hope I get to see
