[Soofi]

On my own, pretending he's beside me

all alone I walk with him till morning

without him I feel his arms around me

and when I lose my way I close my

eyes and he has found me.

In the rain the pavement shines like silver

all the lights are misty in the river

in the darkness the trees are full of starlight

and all I see is him and me forever and forever.

And I know it's only in my mind,

that I'm talking to myself and not to him.

And although I know that he is blind,

still I say, there's a way for us.

I love him, but when the night is over

he is gone- the river's just a river

Without him the world around me changes

the trees are bare and everywhere

the streets are full of strangers.

I love him, But every day I'm learning

all my life I've only been pretending

Without me his world would go on turning

a world that's full of happiness

that I have never known.

I love him, but only on my own.
