By your side
I no longer seek the why,
I just know
you turn my world awry.
I see you riding by
on your bike, up and down,
through the valleys
of this town.

The wheat fields beckon,
hiking trails abound,
as long as it's with you,
my heart is safe and sound.

A cloudy day,
and I'm thinking through,
of all that I could have
lived next to you.

But it can't be,
you're too far away,
I can't even see you,
the clock ticks slow today,
eating pears,
hoping you'd stay.

A single note,
a single dance,
that repeats
when you're near,
what I feel is pure romance.

What we have
is a dream, not true,
wandering 'round
near Madrid,
on this cloudy day,
I'm here thinking
of what I could have
lived next to you.

A hug
that you stole,
an unanswered message,
a sudden like,
I just ask
life to let me
meet you once more.

An unexpected visit
that makes me smile,
I think to feel nothing,
but something so strong
is lurking all along.

A smile so beautiful
it brightens a cloudy day,
who would believe it
could light up my way?

I'll see you in a thousand ways,
some old, some new,
but my heart will overflow
with love when I'm close to you.

I don't know if I should say
what I've come to feel,
but I'll say it all at once,
make it real.
