Love in retrospect

(Verse 1)

Another Sunday morning, the sun spills through the blinds

I'm lying here alone, with tangled thoughts in my mind

It's been so long now, I've forgotten how it feels

A woman's touch on my skin, just a memory in my reels of a distant past,

A love that started out but did not last

I have had

No kisses, no hugs, just this empty space

A hollow ache in my chest, a permanent place

(Chorus)

They say I chose this path, to wait for honest love

But the silence is deafening, I'm questioning what I'm worthy of love

Is there something wrong with me, something I never knew?

(Verse 2)

I walk through the world, a ghost in the crowd

See happy couples laughing, their love spoken out loud

I chose to go without, to keep my body pure

Till I find the one, the love that will endure

But a doubt creeps in, a whisper in the silence of dark

Maybe I'm not meant for this, maybe I'm missing a spark

(Chorus)

They say I chose this path, to wait for honest love

But the silence is deafening, I'm questioning what I'm worthy of

Truth, dignity, or a love worthy to

Is there something wrong with me, something I never knew?

(Bridge)

The years are flying by, a blur of lonely nights

I'm not asking for perfection, just a little bit of light

To feel the warmth of another, to know I'm not alone

To finally find a place where my heart can feel at home

(Chorus)

They say I chose this path, to wait for honest love

But the silence is deafening, I'm questioning what I'm worthy of

Truth, dignity, or a love at all

Is there something wrong with me, something I never knew?

(Outro)

No kisses, no hugs, just this echo of a love that lost its sound

Of a love I'm still searching for, somewhere on this earth and ground

A woman's touch on my skin, a dream I can't let go

A simple honest love, a seed I long to sow.
