I Surrender

Blue as ice

Melting into sea

Thoughts of you becoming a part of me

Waves of doubt

Turning with the tide

Inside out and starting to break inside

Water falling out of silence deep enough to drown

Lifting up my eyes, I see the sky come down

I surrender all my feelings

All that I remember of October rain

All the ways I tried to keep you

All the ways that you remain

Soft as night

Quiet as the air

Turn around as if there were something there

Sound unseen

Far beyond the blue

Just a trace of nothing replacing you

Beautiful and empty as a picture of the moon

Something you were reaching for is gone too soon

I surrender all my feelings

All that I remember of October rain

All the ways I tried to keep you

All the ways that you remain

Free of time

Drifting into space

Leave the past enter a better place

One more time

Innocent and true

Close my eyes let me return to you

Luminous and fragile as the memory of a kiss

Bittersweet with longing to let go of this

I surrender all my feelings

All that I remember of October rain

All the ways I tried to keep you

All the ways that you remain
