Letters

Soon I'll be alone.
Soon I'll be by myself, on my own.
Left to my thoughts, left to my hauntings
Left to myself, alone.

(Chorus)
I want to know the real you
I want to know why you think the way you do
But sadly all I have are the letters you wrote
Years ago, to someone else

Once I'm alone, by myself, on my own
I'll have to figure out how this world turns
Why its axis tilts
Why equllibrium is key
I'll need to find the "becauses" to my "whys"

I wonder what will happen
Once you've faded into the horizon
Will I move on?
Will I find the answers that I seek?

(Chorus)

I wonder what happened to the past
The short lived joys
The days of laughter
Days when you let me know what was ticking on your reel

Now I search for a stranger to confess to
A voice that has no preconcieved notions
No judging thoughts in the parking lot
Just a voice with whom I can delve into the deep unknown

It seams I've lost you
Lost what I thought I knew
Lost the key to opening your door
And now I'm left to the stranger once more

(Chorus)

I wanted to know the real you
I wanted to know why you think the way you do
But sadly all I have are the letters you wrote
Years ago, to someone else

Now you're just a line on the horizon
A dot upon the atlas
An index card filed away in the corner of my memory
And to think today is merely Monday
