Lilies
by Jonathan Lim

The words are harder to find after so long,
like love in a maze of broken lines in broken love songs.
No matter what I do the feelings don't seem to fade away,
I remember that first night like it was yesterday.

We talked through the night until the sunrise,
I wish I could have seen the look in your eyes.
I miss your words because I know they are true,
they tell me so much more than "I Love You".

You know you've loved and lost,
when you're with someone else, but she's all you can think of.
I wish I could tell you how much I miss you everyday,
but there's only so much a broken heart can say.

For a brief moment, I found love I never knew,
a love I never believed existed, until I found you.
But like fleeting, fragile seconds in time,
that moment is lost in the recesses of my mind.

I told you once before I'd never love another,
every breath without you keeps getting harder.
You are the one I love and always will,
lilies in the wind, are still.
