Tears I Cried for You

​

In the beginning
I wasn't lost or lonely,
just looking in
from my distant world.
Some things change,
but I thought,
way back then,
you'd be the only one.

Silence speaks of dreams
I've clung to for so long,
wanting just to find you again.
All I ever found were tears
I cried for you.

Years have flown away
on time's swift wings,
and I find myself facing
a stranger in the mirror,
and I don't know what to say.

I go in silence now,
to learn my destiny.
My world came crashing down
like a driving rain,
but it was only tears
I cried for you.
