Bittersweet Goodbyes

Looking for something, that's not in my life
Seeking something I lost, something I let go
Missing a vital peice of my soul
Aching like hell, for something to fill the emptiness
That I can't help but feel...
I feel like I'm going nowhere, not gaining any ground
Treading water, in the tears of my dreams
Wondering if I have really been anywhere but here
The scenery may change, but the place never does
The words may be silent, but the meaning still thrives
I've never been truly either lost or found
I'm everywhere but in between...
There a chill in my bones,that I can't seem to shake
But, I can hide it well, from those who never see
I go to sleep, not for sleep, but for the dream
I wonder, can you say the same?
You slipped and fell behind, I slipped and feel down
And lost you, somewhere, along the way
Or is it you that lost me?
I can't quite recall...
You were the only one, who could understand
Who would reach out, with both hands
But, that doesn't matter now, doesn't do much good
It only reminds me, of this ache in my soul
Of how you gave me a taste
Then disappeared without a trace...
God, how I want to be where you sleep!
To feel you breath, beside me
Still long for your kiss, your smile
For a not-so-distant past, filled with blue eyes
And bittersweet goodbyes...
