I’m loving him with half a heart, this other half it’s lost. In dreams I swim in while I sleep, when I wake it’s still gone. When I close my eyes I’m searching for you, running through my past. Breaking through strands of time just to hold you at last. Floating down a river on my side you stood there in a suit, next to you a woman dressed in white and a baby between you two. I called out to you and smiled and told you you’d have a boy of your own, I saw the joy on your face as I floated past down sorrows stream.
I guess this is the aftermath of sin and shame that I had once heard of. Never knowing that it was so real, I’m living in my pain.
Loving with half a heart while the other half is numb, is like playing a beautiful melody to the deaf, it’s as if it doesn’t exist.
I wake and remember where I am and with whom I share I my bed. Looking at him while he sleeps, I remember you and your breath. Calling his name, I’ve almost called yours more times than I can count, it’s like I’m stuck in times past and trying to break out of a glass clock.
That other half of my heart that’s lost within my sleep, please let me know when I can have it back and when I close my eyes there we’ll meet and again I’ll hold you as if it is the last.
