lyrics

Watching through your window
Curious eyes meet mine
I went to craft a little sign
It said, "Meet me by the pond at five"

Watched you skip a pebble
Skillfully 'cross the blue
"Let me try," I said, inspired
But I just couldn't get it right
Ya said, just do it for a while
We stayed until the morning

Living in this moment
Captivated by the earth
and recognizing our own worth
Growing up together,
seeing through each other's eyes,
knowing what we had would never die

You were ripped right from me
Woefully forced to leave
We promised we would reconvene
but that didn't really comfort me
I imagined years apart
Your absence traumatized my heart

My dear, can you hear me calling
In the trees I hear your name
Can it ever be the same
Now that we are older?
Grew up with you by my side
Are you waiting with arms open wide?

Saw a letter from you
Your handwriting caught my eye
I'm coming back, the note declared
I threw my arms up in the air
A sketch inside the envelope
showed us together, skipping stones
