I See You in Everyone

Every night,

a fleeting glimpse of candlelight

Chases 'cross the atmosphere

but you're not here

and I see the shape

of moonlight on the cityscape

But now the skyline wears a shroud

I hear your voice in every crowd

Listening for your footsteps in every hallway

Watching for your headlights around the bend

I can see you standing in every doorway

Out in the street,

in every glance

I see your reflection,

I fall in a trance

You can't know what you have done

I see you in everyone, in everyone

In the night I see your eyes

From every direction a different disguise

Can't you see what I've become

It's making me crazy, I see you in everyone

Day by day, I watch the memories slip away

And traces of reality come back to me

Then I see your face, somewhere in a distant place

The fantasy has gone too far --

I close my eyes and there you are

I can see you standing in every doorway

I can feel your heartbeat -- I hear your voice

And hiding in my shadow you're with me always
