On my own

Pretending she's beside me.

All alone

I walk with her till morning.

Without her

I feel her scent around me.

And when I lose my way

I close my eyes

And she has found me.

In the rain

The pavement shines like silver.

All the lights

Are misty in the river.

In the darkness

The trees are full of starlight

And all I see is her and me

Forever and forever.

And I know

It's only in my mind.

That I'm talking to myself

And not to her.

And although

I know that she is mine.

Still I say

There's a way for us.

I love her

But when the night is over 

She is gone

The river is just a river.

Without her

The world around me changes.

The trees are barren everywhere

The streets are full of strangers.

I love her.

But everyday I'm learning.

All my life

I've only been pretending.

Without me

Her world will go on turning.

A world that's full of happiness

That I have never known.

I love her.

I love her.

I love her.

But only on my own.
