Wondering thru these streets
I see what you wanted me to see
and I also see all the things that I did miss.
Wondering thru these streets
I feel your presence surrounding me
I feel the air that you once did breathe
and the loneliness starts to settle in.
Each step brings me closer to you,
each step makes me smile,
each one makes me want to cry
because each step forces me to reflect
on the beauty that you found
and that I decided to now just find.
As I discover your ambitions
your dreams and your spiritualism
I see why these streets gave you a reason.
The art you saw
the music you heard
the sounds you enjoyed
the aromas you felt
are all the ingredients of your deepest self,
and are all the ones that make this grieving
an endless pain.
Wondering thru these streets
I see what you wanted me to see
and I also see you standing still
at the end of this endless field.
