hello, are you the one who’s gone astray?

are you where you need to be?

have you talked with Him today?

no? so, why talk with me?

 

so you think i can fix you?

i mean, i can try.

there’s not much i can really do.

i don’t get why you want me. just why?

 

is it that i lessen your pain?

do i numb the isolation?

strain, strain, and more strain

is all that i gain from this flirtation.

 

sorry

 

was that unkind?

i guess that’s not completely true

maybe i shouldn't speak my mind,

at least, not while i’m with you.

 

i forget about these burdens i feel

when we’re having so much fun.

i forget, but they’re real,

and the doubts have only just begun.

 

i’ve told you once before,

i don’t think i can fix you,

but i know He can for sure.

He’s fixing me too.

 

He loves you, i’m sure.

much more than i.

He and i have been talking more.

He’s asking me to say goodbye.

 

i will do what He asks

even if it makes me cry.

i don’t expect you to understand,

even i have been asking why.

 

i ask Him for comprehension.

He tells me, “that will come, but slow.”

you are under grave misapprehension.

how dare you think that i was asking Him for a lighter load.

 

slowly, He’s showing me why i had to say goodbye to you.

i’ve been asking Him and asking and i continue ask.

i understand now, and the truth i do truly rue,

that, when with you, i was not me. i was you.

 

even now that i have said goodbye,

you hold on. to me. to us.

you hold on.

and continue to make me cry.

 

all this time we’ve been talking,

i’ve been pouring into you.

i spend my days sleepwalking,

because i’ve forgotten who to look to.

 

i look to Him now.

 

not only does He show me his perfect love everyday,

but also who i am; i have made a vow.

i try and fail to keep it in every way.

i look to Him now.
