Blue as ice

   Melting into sea

Thoughts of you becoming a part of me

Waves of doubt

   Turning with the tide

Inside out and starting to break inside

‍

Water falling out of silence deep enough to drown

Lifting up my eyes, I see the sky come down

‍

   I surrender all my feelings

   All that I remember of October rain

   All the ways I tried to keep you

   All the ways that you remain

‍

Soft as night

   Quiet as the air

Turn around as if there were something there

Sound unseen

   Far beyond the blue

Just a trace of nothing replacing you

‍

Beautiful and empty as a picture of the moon

Something you were reaching for is gone too soon

‍

   I surrender all my feelings

   All that I remember of October rain

   All the ways I tried to keep you

   All the ways that you remain

‍

Free of time

   Drifting into space

Leave the past enter a better place

One more time

   Innocent and true

Close my eyes let me return to you

‍

Luminous and fragile as the memory of a kiss

Bittersweet with longing to let go of this

‍

   I surrender all my feelings

   All that I remember of October rain

   All the ways I tried to keep you

   All the ways that you remain
