I hold your hand in dreams and i walk with you,
I tell you how much I love you, and i place my hand upon your heart,
I touch you...
and I feel the steady beat of the heart
that let me go...

Beneath my dark veil i carry you
Inside my eyelids, damp and full of love.
You are my every memory,
my story,
and my every wound.

Has there ever been a moment in my life
where I have not loved you,
or felt you stirring within me?
Never.

Oh paint me a velvet sky to carry my heart across,
So that it may reach you again
and rest...
For i carry you everywhere,
Beneath my lashes
My heart,
My soul.

Reason or rhyme cannot comfort my heart,
It hurts.
And Time...
Time only reminds me of how long youve been gone,
how much colder I am without you,
How you are the only symphony my heart can play.
The only moment that took my breath away.

I hold your hand in dreams, and i walk with you
My veil is lost upon the wind,
As i lay teardrops upon your shoulder
and tell you that I love you...
still.

"People come into your life for either
a reason, a season, or a lifetime" you said,
You were my lifetime...
And in the midst of my melancoly
I am aware, that,
Only dreams, not pathways,
lead me to you.
And I am left with only memories
To which I close my eyes and cling too,
Beneath my veil,
A velvet sky
And a broken heart
I am stranded....
