Too Far, Too Long

by Weeping Wolf   Aug 15, 2009


I gaze down at the world
Sleepless eyes, cloudy skies
Yes, I endured the sunrise
after dreary eyes said their goodbyes.
Desperately attempting to pause time
in the shining, smiling moment
when I surrounded-
and for once, not alone.
And it was like you were there,
laughing with us...so close...
But it has never been that way
(Oh why do I dream this way?)

Fingers drag down the window
Tears roll down my eyes
Plans must be revised,
Knowing I'm soaring above you
and yet- cannot reach you
Breaks my heart,
breaks my heart.
Stretching out my hand
to only find barriers...
Its like loosing you all over again.

And I'd give anything
to leap of this wing
Yes, I'd give anything
For you to not give up.
So keep breathing,
and I'll keep believing
Because no matter
where I fly to,
I'm not leaving...
Because I'm not giving up
On You. On Me.
Because it was Fate
and it was chance
And I've waited too long
For just one dance.
Too long...
Too far...
You've been too far
For far too long...

Only shrouded, excited uncertainty
is seen speeding ahead of me
blocked by city buildings
ducking under swirling clouds
I may have abandoned my home,
but you know exactly where
I've been hiding my heart
(Oh it ever wanders...in a fixed mark).

Oh how will I...
How will I...
How will you hold on?
But every time you say you love me,
I know its never too late
But how long...how long...
Am I unknowingly to wait?
I know your intentions are good.
But I've been fooled before;
but I believe you, like no other.
And I've abandoned my self to this
and have loved you, like no other
Like no other woman, ever will.

Too far...
Too long...
Too far away
For too long
without seeing your face.
Keep breathing, my love.
I'm not leaving, my love.

    I like this reminiscence a lot, especially these lines

    ducking under swirling clouds
    I may have abandoned my home,
    but you know exactly where
    I've been hiding my heart

    and your last stanza.

    sounds like a lucid dream where you want to change everything...

    i love you sis. :]
