The Spaces in Between

The hardest single time that we fell upon overcame us like a god
Tonight, I will not try to harden truth with reasons
But I turn the pieces over like I need them
And maybe in some way I do

I dare not now return for the roar of memories
Or to see how slight a trace we left of our lives
In another time, in another place
You are standing there
Above me
My head in your hands
And you know

You live in everything I love
And everything I'll never be

You're traced in everything I touch
You are the rhythm of my days
And the spaces in between

The darkness I defined has not forgotten me
But ever presses closer the bounds of my reach
Tonight, I will not try to harden truth with reasons
A silence says it all
It comes to remind me who I am
