Thinking of you

There were roses in the garden,
with their thorns well hidden,
but they felt like a burden,
because I was thinking of you.

There were stars in the sky,
their beauty I shan't deny,
but my darkness they couldn't defy,
because I was thinking of you.

There was love in the air,
stretched as far as I could stare,
but I really couldn't care,
because I was thinking of you.

There was smile on everybody's face,
and there was joy in every place,
but it couldn't fill my heart's vacant space,
because I was thinking of you.

There was plenty of time,
and my feelings were sublime,
but my words wouldn't rhyme,
because I was thinking of you.
