Faith Just Is
I've watched the day pass slowly.
I've watched the innocent dance.
I've watched the sun sink below,
And rise again by chance.
But I've never slept through silence.
It's my only true nightmare,
Because when darkness befalls me,
My thoughts become unclear.
Sifting through the fog, I searched for you,
But never found a thing.
I've cried your name for always,
Yet it is you it can never bring.
I've lived a broken half-life
Since you disappeared from mine.
And nothing will complete me,
Until the end of time.
Then one day, the fog cleared,
And there you stood waiting for me.
I couldn't believe t'was you,
And thus could not break free.
And through the ages, I heard
As you finally called back my name.
Your voice unlocked the memories
That I always used to blame.
Your love and warmth filled me,
But I felt your sadness, too.
You didn't mean to do this,
It wasn't your fault, but you still knew.
I realized what I'd lost,
And when my faith was all but gone,
Your lingering feelings helped me,
Your memory made me hang on.
You were lost, but then I found you.
It can't get better than this.
And maybe I wasn't as torn as I thought;
I suppose that faith just is.
And perhaps it's the things of little meaning
That mean the most to you and me,
But at least I've learned how to truly
Listen to memories.
