us two

have i found you now?
if not, then when?
miles i've searched
more ahead, i feel again

words of truth
can only be spoken
this heart of mine
lies much too broken

have i tried too hard
to find you there?
are you just a myth
my soul won't spare?

can you hold the pieces
that are in your hand...
or through your fingers
will they fall as sand?

this myth that grows
each passing day
your voice i hear
always drifts away

is it Love who awaits
on the other side...
or must i wander
with tears to hide?

is it not enough
to tell you how
forever i'll be
as i am now?

the answers are known
only to you
a chance not taken
will regret us two
