Simple Words....

You came to me in a moment, 
With turmoil all over this place. 
With a few simple words that I’ve never heard, 
You put the smile back on my face. 

We shared a few songs with each other, 
We shared things that we never knew. 
We both shared in laughter, and the next morning after, 
I knew that I’d fallen for you. 

It all seemed to be what I wanted. 
And you seemed to be falling for me. 
We both fell in love, because we fit like a glove, 
And your heart kept on calling for me. 

Now I don’t want to wake if I’m sleeping. 
But that means that you’re always a dream. 
I miss you so much, because I still need to touch, 
What my heart just won't let me believe. 


One day I was finally awaken, 
And my eyes couldn’t focus on you. 
I reached in the air, and I found you no where, 
And my heart didn’t know what to do. 

So I tried to find you once again, 
Hoping you’d show up somewhere. 
You’re not to be found, my world’s crashing down, 
When you vanished right into thin air. 

If my dreams were alive for a moment, 
If I knew that they never would end, 
I’d say simple words, that you’ve never heard, 
And you’d run back to find me again. 

So don’t let those simple words fade, 
Don’t pretend that they didn’t exist. 
I still dream of you, but dreams just won’t do, 
When your lips have never been kissed. 

Are my simple words something you've missed?
