how come

How come

How come I always see you on the other side of the street
Staring at me, smiling, sparkling
I walked towards you
But like a mirage you aren’t really there

How come I always hear you say Good morning when I wake up
Lying beside me, snuggling, kissing
I put my arms around you
With just a squint of my eyes you’re gone

How come I always think of you when I shouldn’t
Talk to you when I couldn’t
Sing to you when I wouldn’t ..
.. even dare tell you that I, that I..

Know that this will never be
A promise wrapped in reality
The stars are set for you and me
So now, how come..

How come I’m saying goodbye to you
Right now, waving, panting..

.. Yet still I’m standing, staying, wanting
Right in front of you.
