To the love I never met
by Aaron HowardMy love, where have you gone? Why do you just manifest yourself in my dreams?
Why are you always two inches from the back of my neck, but when I turn, youve been long gone for weeks
How do you wander in my dreams nonchalant and then disappear without even an introduction or smooth goodbye line?
Why are you so elusive? I only want to love you
I only wish to embrace you until the morning sun shines through my windows
All I want is you, and its starting to seem that your just a dream
this figment to make me sleep through the alarm clock with glee
the one who raises my pulse and makes my eyes flutter
Someone who just wanders in when they think its appropriate and leaves with the morning breeze.. Someone I fear Ill never find
All these impostors that looks like you, but never act the way you do
All these liars and thieves.. who enter just to leave with my heart and time.,,,
All these wastes of mental space and time, all these lies I see in their grand design
The radio speaks softly of the joys and pains of it all, but I refuse to listen to the call
The dream of you haunting me in my sleeping and waking hours
with your body smelling of roses in a garden of dead flowers
This lie I tell myself every night, just so Ill feel all right
This lie that youre out there, somewhere, breathing the same air
I hope to find you one day, my love, my life, my soul mate, my wife
Break open my mind and see what secrets you can find
Lead the blind to water, and show me what its like to have a daughter
Bear witness to the happiest moments of my life, Bear witness to the joys Id show you every chance I got
and yet you still slip away, out of my line of sight.. as you slip away into the night

The person you wish for, but havent met...yet.
