Yesterday's Comfort

He can't be sure
There are no promises, no guarentees
And he will never know for certain, unless he tries
Sitting, sitting in his silence, he thinks, he ponders
He decides
And, yes, love is the answer...
He sees that he did her wrong, and he must go back and try
He's got to try to make amends, and love her, wholeheartedly
For he loves her so, so much
He just didn't realize it, until now
Only with her, does he feel whole
Only in her eyes, does he finds his peace
Instead of this bitterness that he has known
While absent from her life...
He misses her touch
And the way she laughs at his jokes
She always makes him feel...alive
After having felt dead for so long
She gives him wings, and flies his spirit high
She thinks him her 'Prince Charming'
And he misses their fairy-tale love
(Fractured and twisted, as it may be)
But, will she forgive him?
He does not know...
Bending his knees', the atheist prays
Once again
And when he's done, smiles
For he has found all kinds of faith
Faith in himself
(Which has long been absent, misplaced, forgotten)
And faith in their love...
So, he will journey back, now
Seeking yesterday's love, and yesterday's comfort
Taking the thousand mile drive, as it comes, mile by mile
Hoping, hoping, hoping that she will be there
When he comes to call...
