I’m alright

If you see me not treading the same path everyday

maybe then I'll tell you that I'm alright.

When the dusk thickens and silence pervades,

when the only sounds you hear are whispers of the cleaving wind

while the rest of the world ceases to exist

maybe then you'll hear me say that I'm alright.

Perhaps when I open my eyes to a chirping bird

in the tranquility of my home, with the one I love

then you quite won't have to ask if I'm alright.

But for now, if we meet in the dark

and silently, we talk and cry,

maybe, just maybe, my heart will let go and say that I'm alright.
