My intentions are pure, as you must know, for sure, I dreamt I waited outside your door. No knocking, no doorbell, no words, no more, I listened and waited for the sound of your voice. She giggled. He sighed. She fretted, and more. He grumbled. She whispered. She moaned. You laughed. My ear drank in joy. My mouth frowned, then smiled. I sat there and listened for another while. They’re happy. She’s smiling. He can’t help but write. She loosens her shoulders. He can’t be so uptight. She’s free to be, as free as a bird. She’s free to speak her sultry words. You’re happy, healthy, and that means the world. So goodbye, sweet darlin’, I'll finally let go, And give you the distance you need to grow. But just remember me in your quietest times, When the world is still, and your heart softly chimes. Try not to let show, The shadow of doubt you still carry inside, That weight you hold, so hard to hide. I’ll be here, not gone, just a thought, A whispered memory, a lesson taught. I wanted to be a good dad, I wanted to be a musical friend I wanted to be a right hand helper, I wanted to be an older sibling, I wanted to be a gentle hand, I wanted to be a body and mind, I wanted to be a life-long lover. I’ll find peace in this, I swear, Even if it means I’m not there. And if ever you need, if ever you roam, Know my heart will always be home.
