ONLY YOU

[Verse 1 – Sparse piano, falsetto opening] Sailing toward a horizon I’ll never touch Whispers break me, it’s all too much I’ve left the beach The sun stood still, the breeze was kind Now I’m adrift and out of time I can’t find peace [Chorus – Ambient synths begin layering, slow build] Only you... Even in the deep, I dream of you Even when I fall, I fall for you I reach for light, but it's breaking through Only... You [Verse 2 – Light beat pulses in, tension builds] The waves, they crash, they carry pain Salt on my lips, it calls your name And I'm to blame My love has gone, and stars don't shine Each tide I face pulls back my mind To when you were mine [Chorus – Bigger, higher range, backing harmonies begin] Only you... Even as I drown, I fall for you Even when I’m lost, I’m lost in you The tide won’t turn, but my soul knew— Only... You [Bridge – Choir-like harmonies, ambient textures swirl] I’m sinking low, the silence screams You were the light inside my dreams If love could breathe, I’d breathe again Just one more chance to hold you then Salt in my chest, your scent remains A final kiss through liquid pain If this is death, then let it be... Where you and I still meet beneath The waves... [Final Chorus – Gospel-style climax, emotional peak] Only you... Even in the dark, I shine for you Even as I fade, I burn so true This heart won’t stop, it’s beating through Only... Only you... You.

Losing someone you have loved is like being lost...at first, but time passes and though things seem strange without them and a wound is hurting, a scar will form and next time you will be wiser and tougher. A great poem, Lyric Man, one to which so many poets and lovers can relate. Congrats on receiving POTD.
