Wondering

It's crazy, what I'm thinking now
Wondering, with a wandering mind
I took a picture of you once, just to have a souvenir
Just so I could remember your face, bathed in the summer sun
After a while, I placed your memory on a shelf
Hoping to forget, hoping to erase the parts I didn't like
But now it seems I've taken it down, again
I've taken your memory down off of that shelf
Now I see, and now I think I understand
I've been shown the truth, I've got nothing to lose
There is nothing left to hide...
Too many choices left untouched
Too many secrets left silent, wasted
I'm reaching out across this space, hoping
Wondering if you can hear me, wondering if you care
Realizing that I've been searching my mind, my heart
A strangers' face, everything, anything
Looking for something I cannot name
Except...except to call it you...
