'alive'

Living each day co-existing inside yourself
Feeling as though you are merely an observer

Always watching from off in the distance
The comings and goings of those around you
What will it take to stop this perpetual motion?

Desperately lonely you begin searching
For some means to an end

Someone who will accept you
Understand you
Offering an extended hand

Perhaps it is fate that has brought you to this place
Yet here you are
Reaching out to a name to which you cannot put a face

Instead of feeling inadequate and awkward
Something wonderful begins to happen
You are laughing, smiling, truly interacting

Someone please pinch me
Awaken me if this is only a dream

As if resurrected from some conscious state of death
I feel this strange internal stirring
Can it be my true self once more emerging?

This can't be real
But I feel myself being drawn

You seem so very familiar
Almost like a long lost friend

You've gotten under my skin
You are now constantly on my mind

Where we go from here is not yet clear
Getting lost in our uncontrollable passion
Let's just enjoy these moments while we can

One day at a time
One foot in front of the other

Whatever happens will happen
Let's just watch how it unfolds

One thing is certain
It cannot be denied

It is because of you
That I now feel so 'alive'
