Who Am I To You?

Who Am I To You?

Who am I to you?

When others ask of me, do you say a friend, acquaintance or just another face?

Because when others ask of you,

You are the rhythm of my heartbeat

As I dance my blues away,

The freshness in a seaside breeze,

With salt water stained jeans

So, who am I to you?

When others ask of me do you forget my name?

Because when others ask of me, I say my everything

You are my breath of fresh air

The reason that I smile,

The playfulness behind wind tossed hair

Tell me anything, a secret or a dare...

So, when others ask of me, Who am I to you?

When someone asks about you,

The smile spreads across my lips like a fire

You know the wild ones?

Because the way others see the world, is what I see when I see you

Or perhaps it's just me who feels this way,

So, when others ask about me, Who am I to you?

Who am I to you?

A ghost from the past? The one you wish you had?

People change overtime,

Because when others ask of you,

I say you were a man that I once knew

A man I once admired,

A man I once desired,

So when others ask of me, Who am I to you?
