Reaching out

I'm reaching out to touch you
then I realize you're not there
I see you in everything I do
I speak of you in every prayer.

I'm reaching out to find the way
to the path that led me to you
I see you in every tear I cry
I wish you loved me too.

I'm reaching out for your heart to care
I have no room because you fill mine
I hear you in every breath I take
I could swear you are my lifeline.

I'm reaching out for your love
but I think you just push me away
I try so hard not to think of you
I fall harder for you everyday.

I'm reaching out to touch you
then I realize you're not there
I see you in everything I do
but while I reach all I get is air.
