Book of Poetry In roughly chronological order . . . I've been looking for you I thought I found you once before I've been looking for you I thought I found you once again I've been looking for you I thought I found you yet again I've been looking for you I thought I found you- then again And I'm wondering now who you really are To live again the times of past Clear your mind of anxious worry So you were waiting to tell me Suddenly all I want is Your addictions' the extinction of the cells that dwell within your dreams Come from my dreams, are you Still will my dreams haunt me Under my And here you are Torn from my dreams, and you're I feel there's I know you're I told you But I see You do - or do you? Now you're gone There really is no time You change with the days Here it seems you've always been Still, now that you finally know You change with the days Strange, I thought I'd never find There you have always been Sometimes I wonder if you even care at all You never had much time Sometimes I wonder if you even care at all Now you have dissappeared Back to Bastian's Dreams
Chapter Four
but I cannot seem to find you
After all I've been through
is it asking too much?
Yeah, I've been looking for you
but I fear I'll never find you
Seems even all I've been through
doesn't add up to much
Hiding behind that locked-tight door
And I fell far to far and far too quick
For a light far too bright, beyond my reach
but I cannot seem to find you
After all I've been through
is it asking too much?
Yeah, I've been looking for you
but I fear I'll never find you
Seems even all I've been through
doesn't add up to much
Poetic words that warmed my heart
But your words were not you, though they're all I knew
And no matter my wish, it would not be true
but I cannot seem to find you
After all I've been through
is it asking too much?
Yeah, I've been looking for you
but I fear I'll never find you
Seems even all I've been through
doesn't add up to much
Born of my dreams- or so it seemed
And I fell far too far and far too quick
And you faded away, beyond my reach
but I cannot seem to find you
After all I've been through
is it asking too much?
Yeah, I've been looking for you
but I fear I'll never find you
Seems even all I've been through
doesn't add up to much
I thought it was you once, and I knew
And we fell far to far and far too quick
But they stole you away, beyond my reach
Who will you be? Are you looking for me?
'Cause I'm tired and weak from searching so hard
And I pray you will find me in time
To change the times of my regrets
To know then all that I now know
I wish . . .
Time will pass no quicker if you don't
Free your heart of ancient hatred
So your soul may soar in peace
Gee, now when would that be?
When's the best time to say:
"Hey, by the way, I'm breaking up with you
And oh, since I don't care,
This appartment that we share?
Well you gotta be out of here by June."
You and me together
So strangely I thought that we
Would part quietly when the time came
You cannot see, nor do agree, with anything taught to you by me
Here for me to see or be? I
Run from my dreams, since I'm
In this nightmare, slowly dying
More than now and how my vow will
Change with my dreams, now you've
Made your way into my daydreams
Reason I'd
Rather be with
You
Don't you see?
Aren't you here for
Me to be?
Come from my dreams
Or so it seems
Never to
Tether, to
Rather to
Ever to
Remain
Always
Seeking
Here for me to see and be. If
Only my dreams would let
Me be free of all I see. We
All fall from dreams, even
Still until we will fullfill our
Dangerous dreams and
Enter into our own daydreams
something you're offering
In your eyes
something that can't be seen
By their eyes
Something only for me to see
trying to hide it
But I am
trying to find it, but
I think
trying is hiding and lying
something that you could hate
You told me
that's something that you don't hate, but
You told her
that's something that you would hate to be
And you're trying to change me
more than you think I see
And I see
all that you are hiding
And do you see
That I am here waiting for you
To make the first move
It's all to confusing
I would if I could
But I don't think you'd let me
You did and then hid
But maybe you didn't
I wish you could be more clear
I'll never see you again
I thought I would
But I guess we were never friends
I thought we were
Strange how things always end
Guess I was fooled once again
Left inside my own sad mind
There really is no time
Left for me to let you see
The ways that you are blind
Yet you're always the same
In my mind. I find I'm
Growing closer to you.
Here and then there
And then you dissappear
In thin air, and there I
Am still waiting for you
And yet I know that in
Time I will love you
I wish that it were not so
Because of course I know
That you can't love me
It seems that now you show
Some true desire
Shared, and then into thin air
Desire leave me here
Alone and waiting
Yet you're always the same
In my mind. I find I'm
Growing closer to you.
Here and then there
And the you dissappear
In thin air, and there I
Am still waiting for you
Out here the one that I
Am always seeking
Here, then you swim to that beach
And far beyond my reach
Into a daydream
You once said that you loved me
And thought that maybe we
Were meant to be
You may not remember me
I still think maybe we
Are meant to be
Love from a friend from afar
Ever wondering when
You will open the door and love me more
You never seem to be around when I want you
But then when I'm really down you always reappear
You're here and then all else fades away
Even when I first met you
Then you moved far and I'm
Worrying when I will see you until
You never seem to be around when I want you
But then when I'm really down you always reappear
You're here and then all else fades away
You warned me before you left
Yet it was more than I feared
I now wonder where you have vanished to . . .
