I wonder what you’re doing now tonight
As for me, I’m learning how to live my life
Back when we would meet most every day
I was drowning in the rush, swept away
Couldn’t truly see the moments as they came
Couldn’t hold the light before it slipped away
Now that I’m alone, I realize
Maybe solitude’s the place my spirit hides
Meeting friends is fun, I won’t deny
Laughter in the air still lifts me high
But more than all the crowded passing days
I learned my lonely hours deserve their place
To cherish who you are inside your skin
If you cast that love aside, nobody wins
If you keep yourself somewhere behind
One day you wake up shattered in your mind
It took me far too long to understand the truth
If you really want to help somebody through
First you’ve gotta learn to rescue you
You, my precious friend, my closest light
Are you treasuring this second of your life?
This very breath, this beating now, this time
I want to ask, but first the fault is mine
Before I speak those words so honestly
I have to learn to live them faithfully
These days, being on my own somehow
I’ve tasted bitter tears and brighter moments now
Pain and joy and all the things I love
Every scar and memory I’m thinking of
All these fragments living in my soul
Are the very things that made me whole
And somewhere in that story, deep and true
There’s a place that still belongs to you
That’s the reason I can stand somehow
And keep on breathing through the here and now
…Maybe saying this aloud would feel too deep
So I guess I’ll leave these thoughts here quietly
I wonder how many times you rescued me
Some memories are blurred by everything I’ve seen
Still this feeling never faded from my heart
That’s why I’ll keep on trying from the start
So someday I can hand this gratitude to you
Until that day, I’ll keep on pushing through
Please wait for me with patience, like you do
Dear friend of mine
From just one soul among the countless lives you’ve touched

A free-spirited creative individual. It is my sincere hope that my words and creations may, in some small way, be of service to others. As I am not particularly adept at offering direct assistance or placing myself in the public eye, I am deeply grateful to live in an age that allows me to contribute indirectly.
