the clock struck 4 45 when i closed my eyes now i awake i see my life ordered by disarray rocked by the waters rocked by the broken waves all my anchors have gone away a handshake a smile and a warm embrace framed black and white but this picture could never measure up to my memory of you and i ll treasure the times we had but i can t help but regret that i wasted our days away your loss has taken all of my heart my balance is gone you are the only one who could bring me back to my feet but i m alone set me straight again i have lost all my direction you stayed around to say goodbye when the time came i disengaged one errant choice was all that brought me a year a year of remorse i ve sealed my fate and every day i m forced to relive how i ran away ran away from you there are so many things that i wish i could say but instead here i am standing before your grave and i hope you know that who you were is who i want to be when i see you reaching out in my dreams its like you were never gone the moment that we speak i know though its been so long that none of my mistakes matter you ve brought me the peace i needed to part with you so set sail for one last time let these waves carry you beyond the tides rest and you will find it won t be long until we meet again but until that day comes i ll hold you in my heart all my anchors have gone you should know that everything you were has meant everything to me1
