In the silence I find myself,
when the only voice is deep within,
and conversation finally has true meaning,
In the darkness I find the light,
when daylight dies the pressure fades,
and my mind is free to roam the earth,
Inbetween moments I find reality,
when the world slows my vision clears,
behind the motion the world is right,
In the past I see joy and pain,
the stolen photographs hang in my mind,
their unorganization is what makes me whole,
In my memories I find you,
Some Impacts are mean't to live forever,
So as I cry the tears of yesterdays,
you wipe them away with the years we had,
because in my heart you never died,
