50 years -For You

I feel you watching me 

As I lay here I feel safe still in your arms 

This is the silent war I'm waging 

You put the same uniform on 

And fight on too 

I can't help but wait 

But it won't be forever ...

There's something about the day 

And stale conversation that makes me 

Know exactly what it was all for 

I try to explain it 

When they don't understand it 

I know 

It's right 

I travel in crowds 

With out you I'm alone 

I lost my best friend 

If I wrote a love poem 

It would be about losing that 

My soul is the needle to your 

Unstitched thread 

If you never come back 

I'll manage 

But not whole as I once stood

you carry the best parts of me 

Where ever you are 

Where Ever you stand 

I was lucky just to know you 

Just to sit with you 

And you can read years and years back of everything I ever wrote 

That I never felt like this 

So you know it's real 

This might not be the most beautiful letter 

But it's the most true 

And it will be in 50 years .
