I was sad because I was lonely
looking for a shimmer of hope through the fog
I wanted a better life... much better than now
that maybe I could be someone somehow
I cry inside... my dry tears
afraid to let you see that I am weak
I was about to give up this life of emptiness
frustration unleashed by my meekness
you just came and that I can't explain
pretended that what we shared is us
yet you loved me and cried with me in the end
shared with me this life that we unendingly tend
I am afraid to trust that you would give promise
even fear the finality of your words
but these I throw away to give you a chance to stay
because you are the shimmer I found
no matter how faint, I know you'd be coming 'round
