You and I (Fading of the day)
You and I
Waiting here and knowing that things are gone
Slipped from my grasp because I did not know how
To show you the things that would have kept you here
The darkness of the day's end coming too soon
The whirlwind of what I felt and thought you did as well
Thoughts of regret and recrimination as I wonder how I failed.
Now the embers of the sun's touch are all I can feel on my back
The shadows on the wall growing and forming my future
Faded is the light that now creates the darkness that threatens to engulf
The coming chill of a night that now seems to never end within my head and heart
Staring aimlessly at the wall before as I feel the burning in my eyes
You and I were supposed to be the future and now I am alone and you are gone
