Sweet Sorrow

I wrote a letter
Just so I could sign it love
But I meant every word and
I tried to tell you
All that I was thinking of
So I would understand and

I can't stop thinking of days in the sun together
When there was nothing to say
Those blissful moments seem to run together
Maybe it's better that way

Outside the airport
I held you in hand and heart
I closed my eyes and
I wished us far away
Now we are just far apart
That wasn't my intention

I know that sometimes you lay awake and wonder
I hope you know I do the same
It all makes so much sense but
Sometimes I wish there were something to blame

I miss the touch of your hand and
The way you linger
And how your smile lights your eyes
Memories stick like sand on the tip of my finger
And I don't even know why

We will go back to
Long walks and grassy lawns
And eggs for breakfast
But now I should try to sleep
Before the break of dawn:
It's creeping; night's past

If I am lucky then I will dream of you and me but
It has just been too long
I can't see your face anymore with my eyes shut
Sandman, please prove me wrong

I can't stop thinking of how we could run together
Maybe it's better this way
I know it all makes sense but
Sometimes I wish there were something to blame
