Where you stand

I see you standing where i stood

treading the ground i already trod 

Singing the words I've already sung

Holding the hands I've already held

I see you smiling the smile that i use to smile

Wishing the words I've already spoke

Kissing the lips I've already kissed 

Being the person i already was 

I see the happiness in your eyes

They light up at the sight of her

And i know in that moment

You've taken my place

But you are more worthy 

Your smile is more honest

And unlike me

You can promise her forever

I could promise her a day

A day at a time 

Nothing more

Nothing less

She told me 

She was sick of fearing tomorrow

Of loving the sunrise 

And hating the sunsets 

She said she could not stand 

With me any longer

She could not see 

The sights that i saw

She could not feel 

The things that i felt

She could not look into the eyes

I see every morning in the mirror
