I want to give you something
that you cannot give back
A walk in the park wondering
if you love me enough to try
You will remember and that is why
Something to compare is what I am

You can’t give back you and I
A moment that only we know
Things we said and felt
You cannot take off and return
Chains and rings are golden
But a man cannot forge love that way

Where you saw me standing alone
Do you remember where it was
Yes you do because you were there too
It was not a church or a celebration
It was on a street where people wonder
if you see them or your reflection in a window

The door to this prayer is out of reach
I spoke to you many times as I thought about it
To every possible thing you could say I listened
But what I thought of wouldn’t be you
I tried to build a sand castle made of fantasy
Instead you were a wave answering to the moon

To be proud of survival drowning in regret
It’s the way a loner thinks of the night
Watching others who seem to be happy
But the stars are so different to me
Neither is my heart when it thinks of you
Something for you to always keep of mine
