How Can I Tell You

How can I tell you who you are to me? When even my soul aches to speak your name. You are not just someone I love — You are my everything, without whom I’m never the same. You are the song within my heartbeats, The quiet music behind my pain. You are my life, my breath, my reason, And still… you’re gone, like summer rain. You are my devotion in the dark, The light I search for every night. You are the freshness I once felt, Now lost in the air, out of sight. You are my every happiness, My love, my warmth, my care. You are the one I called my soulmate, And now… you’re nowhere there. You're in my eyes, in every glance, In every tear I hide and cry. You're in my breath, in every sigh, In dreams that fade as night slips by. You're in my words — the ones I speak, And in the ones I never say. You're in my days that feel too long, And in my nights that drift away. You're in my mornings, cold and still, You're in my lonely evening skies. You're in my thoughts when no one knows, You're in the quiet, hidden lies. For me, to gain was knowing you, To lose… was watching you slip through. To laugh once felt like holding you close, Now every smile feels painted blue.
