The Journey of Finding Me and Holding Onto You

The Journey of Finding Me and Holding onto You
By Aidan Gilbert

Now I now
I know why you left
It was me wasting all my time trying to find myself
Only finding out that I needed you
It was never an official goodbye
Hoping again we’ll say hi
But your gone
So I write this song
I’m lost again
Confusion once again
But I find strength in hurt
Ignoring myself thinking we will work
Believing we will both be broken enough to love a lie
Trying to figure out the puzzle piece: life
Yet I’m bold enough to call myself out into the waves
Open my eyes but stuck in haze
What’s taking me so long
To find a clear day
With you happiness put it all away
Now I’m stripped to my knees
Handed to the enemy: me
The person I could be is too strong
The person I am right now is wrong
There is no perfect me
How could I even be set free
I should just die
But I know that is a lie
With you I had a chance
 Remembering our only dance
…I Wish you were here
So l could hold you near
Have nothing to fear
I don’t need to know who is me
Just seeing you in my mind is key
