Hope

This is one of 2 songs that were written in memorial of a dear friend whom I lost 5 years ago today
(Date of passing November 10, 2006)

A door swings through a passing fable
A fate we delay
Hanging on, living within our embrace

I was embraced
By the loss of the one I could not replace
And without a trace
You were taken from me
God was without a plan,
My loneliness is proof,
That I could only love you,
It’s sad

When my colors turned to gray, (I stayed)
In my room with memories for days, (I faced)
An undertow of futures laid to waste

I lit a match, I laid in bed
Hoping my dreams will bring you back,
My loneliness is cruel
I could only love you
It’s sad

Holding my last breath
Believing
I’ll make my way
Cause you’re not forgotten
I’m haunted
I’m searching for an escape

If just one wish could bring you back, it's sent
My loneliness is proof, it's sad
I was embraced
By the loss of the one I could not replace
And without a trace
You were taken from me
God was without a plan,
And my loneliness is proof,
That I could only love you,
It’s sad
But I will always love you
and one day not too soon
I will be there with you
