On My Own

There is one song from the broadway musical Les Miserables that I really like. As a matter of fact, I can relate to that song this very moment. I'd like to share it with you:

On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone I walked with him 'til 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
And 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 is 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 everyday I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me his world would go on turning
The world is full of happiness that I have never known

I love him..
I love him..
I love him... but only on my own.....
