Thief (Edited version)

I had a dream of you standing in a wide open space
Gazing at white clouds in a vibrant blue sky
As I slowly walked around you in circles
Trying to figure out what caused the tears in your eyes

I don’t think that you noticed me there
Trying in vain to get your eyes to look at me
It was as though I was invisible
A part of your life that you couldn’t see

I see you often in my mind and my dreams
Holding the piece of my heart you stole the instant we met
But you don’t know that you stole it
So I doubt I’ll ever get it back from you

But that’s ok, I need you to keep it
Then I know I am always with you even from afar
Even if you never really realised, never really knew
Would you wonder why you still shine like a star to me?

I doubt I could explain, there are no words
Your light has not faded after all these years
It will shine until all the stars fall from space
You know all my fears and still you’d be amazed

You broke down my defence and shared your warmth and peace
Your spirit is in mine and I burn for you
I kindled the flame and cannot extinguish it
But duty called, fate stepped in and you had to go

My kindred spirit thousands of miles away
Our paths crossed in this existence but the timing wasn’t right
For those few years I wasn’t invisible
But now I only see you in dreams, gazing into far off space

As I slowly walk around you in circles night by night wondering
If my dreams mirror yours all these mile apart
Do you walk around me in circles, do you feel invisible?
Am I holding a stolen piece of your heart?

The trouble with circles is that there’s no beginning, no end.
I keep walking and still you have no clue
Maybe in the next existence we’re fated to connect
Well, until the stars fall from space I’ll be waiting.
