Speechless Wonder

You never say hello
Your just a speechless wonder
You called me your wild rose
But I'm just the thorn in your side
An empty silent love
Finally falling through the ordinary day
now we never talk anymore
And we're slowly fading away

You never said goodbye
Beloved speechless wonder
Just a shadow of you walking
And getting smaller under street lights
Old memories echo through me
Finally whispering in ordinary ways
But we never talk anymore
And you've slowly faded away
