So many times, I tried to find a way To keep your memory alive Inside my mind, I drew your face Like flowers in a garden Too fragile to survive Walking slowly to the shoreline Looking at the stars above I wrote your name upon a piece of paper As if a few simple words Could ever be enough But standing there With the ocean breeze I watched the paper fade away And then I realized The paper was too small Cause you were the sea And in your endless blue My heart got lost in you You pulled me underneath You carried me away And left me drifting An unstoppable force You left me vulnerable Like the rising tide Taking me where I couldn't go Like a ship without a compass In the middle of the storm No way back No way home Lost in the waves Lost in the unknown After fighting all the currents I finally understood There was nothing left to hold Nothing left to save No strength No ground No compass No direction Just me Drifting alone In the ocean of my soul
