When I Thought

Come Back To Me

You said you gotta go and find yourself.

So I set you free.

I gave you the space you need.

You said you don't recognize the face in the mirror looking back at you.

So I let you go.

I gave you time for the search.

Even if it would take a decade.

I'll patiently wait.

But promise me, when you find yourself, please come back to me.

You said you're being someone else.

So I let you turn around from me.

I gave you the chance to see what you can't find.

Even if you won't be needing me by your side.

And as you walk away from me, I count the steps that you take.

And every step make my heart break.

I'll endure the pain.

No tears will fall together with the rain.

But promise me, when you find yourself, please come back to me.

And you did.

You found yourself.

You came back but not for me.

You came back but not to me.

Because along your search, you found someone else.
