what have you been up to?

look at me and tell me if you see someone you knew
this coincidence is prayer disguised as fate
today I'm searching for the "me" that I will leave behind tomorrow
like a shell left by the waves upon the shoreline

most mornings I roll out of bed at ten past five a.m.
to catch the last of midnight's sweetness turning over in the sky
I lift my eyes to heaven gradually
like great weights over my head
but still I thank the Lord above for one more day
on earth instead

it's not that every day is perfect
like you and me they have their faults
but I love each day I'm living
because of all that I have lost
I've lost friends and I've lost family
I've lost time and I've lost youth
but today I choose to lose myself to love
and loving you
