One of a Thousand

One song I sang

Of a thousand songs

One song for your lost heart

My voice uplifted

Spiraling high

The mourning song of a wild bird

A song for my lost heart

One dream I dreamt

Of a thousand dreams

One dream for your blue eyes

My thoughts unfettered

Flying high

Each more wild than the last

A dream for those blue eyes

One smile I gave

Of a thousand smiles

One smile to greet your own

My emotions untamed

Soaring high

Heartbeats swelling like the tide on the shore

A smile for you, my love

One tear I shed

Of a thousand tears

One tear for your absence

My will unbroken

Yet sinking low

Following you as you leave, my love

One tear for your absence
