The Closest Thing to Right

The closest thing to right
Was when I held your hand
Sometimes loose, sometimes tight
You were indeed a man.

The closest thing to right
Your presence piercing mine
You held me through the night
I opened to unwind

The closest thing to right
The words you spoke so clear
My chest, my face held tight
A stream of flowing tears

The closest thing to right
The furthest thing from wrong
We walked away with light
Each with our own song

The closest thing to right
Was standing next to you
Intending with my might
That you'd intend it too

The closest thing to right
It seems has flown away
I want so bad to fight
For just another day

With the closest thing to right
But it won't pick up its phone
It won't reply to emails
It's in the twilight zone

The closest thing to right
I have met my match so far
I've given up the fight
I'll love my battle scar

For the closest thing to right
It seems it may be wrong
Or the timing, it just might
Play out to be too long

The closest thing to right
I'm ready to part ways
The hope, it will shine bright
Upon the coming days

The closest thing to right
From you it is hard to walk
I want to stay and fight
But I've stopped trying to talk

The closest thing to right
I thank you for your time,
Your kiss, your touch, your loving heart
And mostly your calm eyes.

The closest thing to right
For if you did not know
Your soul and mine connected
Many moments lost in flow

Without your heart and soul you see
We never would have met
I would have stopped and looked at you
And well...that's probably it.

I feel you in the night time
The day time you're there too
I love the loving energy
You keep on passing through

If I'm smart I'd turn the sound off
To your caring coaxing voice
But then you just get louder
It seems I have no choice

But to listen to your guidance
Whatever it may be
And maybe one day shortly
Free of you I'll be

It will make my heart seem empty
To have lost a loving friend
And somehow I see it happy
And open to love again.
