I never wrote a decent love song,
Never showed how much I care.
Never managed not to blink
your longing stare.

Never said how much I love you
ears that aren't your own.
Never dared to show my face
from safety neath the stone.

I seldom made the right decision.
Seldom followed my own heart.
Seldom kept the world around
from tearing us apart.

Seldom held tight to your hand
when swimming through the crowd.
Seldom did those simple deeds
would have made you proud.

I often ran away from trouble.
Often hid my inner storm.
Often sat in solitude
and watched the rain clouds form.

Often thought too little
of my words before I spoke.
Often did not quite enough
to mend just what I broke.

But you have always been there in me,
Always when I dreamt at night.
Always when hope seemed to be
too far and out of sight

For you are always on my mind...
