Lost Letter, Found
Did you heal that humbling heartbreak
that rang like a bell through you?
Did you conquer the stifling loss
bitterly coating all your notebooks?
Did you ever find a stranger at your door
clutching wine and headphones?
Did they listen with hungry ears
to all the truths you had to share?
Did they grab your wrists with passion
dance you into the expanding night?
Did they calm your fears with a simple gesture
and hold you the way you always wanted?
Did they lead you astray, in that inspiring way?
And did you laugh together in the face of darkness?
Did they mute the chill of rain upon your senses?
And push the mundanities of living back into their places?
Oh, how I wanted to be that person
how I wanted to be the one standing there
on some unexpected evening
with that bottle and those tunes
I hope someone answered all of the longing
that came pouring from your pen
and yet I pray that you're still writing
but now the song is sweeter
I hope someone answered you
the way I always longed to...
