LYRIC FOR SALE

By Nani Kokua

Verse
I watched as you slept into your dreamy state
I wish I could also sleep, as I knew it was late
But I kept thinking instead of the words you did not say
Of the I love you that is missing each and every day

Verse
I felt each breath and felt your cheek
As I lay on my pillow trying not to weep
But the feelings are here, they want to take hold
Of the I love you that I feel yet I want to be bold

Chorus
Now, I cannot wait until you wake up, my darling, my dear
Because I need you to leave, so I can cry and tear
I need to cry out loud for days if that is what it will take
Because when I cry, I will feel the love that you forsake

Verse
I gazed at you throughout the day
I hoped that my dreams would sweep me away
But you seem distant in more ways than one
You’re here, but not really, not even for fun

Verse
I haven’t felt your heart linked with mine
This is the truth at this space and time
Love is haunting me every moment of everyday
Of a memory of what was to be always

Chorus
Now, I cannot wait until you wake up, my darling, my dear
Because I need you to leave, so I can cry and tear
I need to cry out loud for days if that is what it will take
Because when I cry, I will feel the love that you forsake
