Run Silent, Run Deep

I stood in silence
waiting for you to come to me
I want to look back and
reach for the past
but the future tries
to strangle me.

I want to run silent,
I want to run deep,
I want to go back
to the way we used to be.
I want to walk fast
and never slow down
I want to go home
where faith can be found.


I listen in silence
waiting for you to say my name.
I closed my eyes
to feel your presence,
but there I go again,
anonymous, unnamed.

I want to scream out
I want to shout
I want you to take away
all these faithless doubts.
I want to hold you
and hear you whisper my name,
I want to hold on to
the little things that remain.

--------------

Let me run silently back to your arms,

Let me run deep through these walls between us.
