JOE ALBANESE | How I Love
From your hope is how I hear you
Through your unabashed scars is how I feel you
Between each thought I always see you
And it’s in your flowing that I know you
The sacred and magic are born from you
For simple being, the world should thank you
In crowded streets I may have lost you
But with heart-star lantern I’ll search for you
Although ghosts may sometimes haunt you
It’s because who wouldn’t live beside you
From your laughter I cannot save you
But in tears I’d never have you
If it’s in the sunlight that I want you
Then it’s in its shadows I am with you
If all our lives I never reach you
Then let these words be how I love you.
