Your eyes were timid when I told you that I loved you
I'll admit, my heart was jaded before I met you
In a swirl of it's own misery
Darkest of clouds constantly consuming every pigment of light
How could I forget the the days you'd sit there next to me
There was a warmth in the way you'd pour soul into mine
You taught me the definition of "hope" with the way you wore that broken smile
Your eyes were timid when I told you that I loved you
My heart was open, hoping to find you
Like that song we always used to play
You were the melody that marked the end
Slowly, softly, you faded away
