The Hardest

THE HARDEST 

I looked for you 
Today 
Unattainable 
What could you see 
If I could only let it be 

I cannot have 
I cannot hold 
Beauty untold 
My heart to fold 


It is so hard 
Not to cry 
What is within ones' own grasp 
A single step 
The hardest 
Not to cry 
If not... 
Why? 

I cannot have 
I cannot hold 
Beauty untold 
My heart to fold 

Such angst 
Fighting through 
I am here 
Tears too 

I cannot have 
I cannot hold 
Beauty untold 
My heart to fold 

When you were with me 
Lying quietly 
All I could think... 

I cannot have 
I cannot hold 
Beauty untold 
My heart to fold
