Silver Lining

if you're not missing any pieces
if I don't have your heart
what once was a perfect circle
at the seams now rips apart

if I settle for disappointments
if indifference is the rule
if I hold it up to the light
my mind wraps around the truth

if this rain that gently falls
washes this blank slate clean
then the silver lining would be
it was just a daydream
