More To Me

Remember when you look at me

I'm so much more than what you see.

My body is a precious key

to all that's dark and all that's deep.

 

And since we made the skies so blue

I look up, and when I do,

I mourn this world, so filled with new.

I can't help but think of you.

 

Of when our words rushed through my veins, 

those endless rivers, grassy plains.

It's time I realize this terrain

is just a mask over the pain.

 

And in these most restless days,

I lament our parted ways,

deplore a sky so choked in haze,

lose myself among the grays.

 

Now I have made peace with the strange.

I know time passes, rhythms change. 

I embrace this vital exchange

that has brought happiness in range.

 

Once again my skies are blue,

and I think I always knew

that even when my fears prove true,

there is more to me than you.
