Lost

I begin to lose my way, through streets that I know. Am I who I am? Or am I another silhouette? I twist and turn, looking for me. But instead, I find... You.

I feel lost

I trudge through the woods, the fields

It all looks familiar, but in the mist

I can only see silhouettes

They are people, telling me to feel this way and that

I try and resist, every time,

But every day, I feel less like me

I begin to lose my way, through streets I know

Am I who I am? Or am I

Just another silhouette?

I twist, I turn, looking for me,

But instead, I find...

You.

The only clear thing in the mist.

You wander to me, asking to help

And I realize, you're just as lost

I know the feeling of lost

No one should have to experience that feeling

We're not so different

You don't know these roads.

Not like I do, at least.

Slowly, just by being you, you make the mist go away

Your laugh makes the sky turn from gray to blue

Your eyes love me, and mine love you too

You care for me, you always do

And it makes the world clearer

Sometimes, I wonder

Do I truly love you?

But when I see that snow that you love so much,

Or something that reminds me of you when you're not around

Suddenly, I have a purpose

I remember some of the roads

I remember the right path through the fields

The mist is hazy, still

I don't know if that mist will ever go away.

But as I always with you,

Hand and hand through it,

I start to realize that, with you,

I don't feel as

Lost.
