In the late hours of the night, I occupy my addicted mind.
For you are the only thing, in there, I find.
Why is it that I can't breathe without you here,
And yet I can't breathe when you're close and near?
I hate being separated from you, my hope slowly fading
And when we fight there's always tears cascading.
Cascading straight down my red tinged cheeks,
Realizing how far we will have come in a mere week.
We've survived four months, through some shouts and tears,
And through everybody else's jokes, taunts and jeers.
How long are you willing to go through this with me?
How long will it take for them to leave us be?
How long until I can freely embrace you tight?
How long will it be until I can lie next to you at night?
I feel completely alone without you by my side,
And I know that sometimes we're on a roller-coaster ride,
But could you take it if I was too small to see
Everything else in which surrounds me?
Some say you're mean, some say we're cute,
And sometimes I want to put everything outside of us on mute.
You're the thing that keeps me going right now,
And I don't care if they can't see how.
You've brought out my smile, brought out my laugh,
You brought out a side of me, I forgot I had.
And I love you so much, that it sometimes hurts inside,
Because I don't want us separated by their words and lies.
I'm listening to what I believe to be right,
And Babe, for our love, I will fight.
I know there is more then what you let people see,
And you are afraid of being hurt, is what I foresee.
Maybe I think too much, maybe I'm wrong,
But whatever the cause, with you, I feel strong.
How long are you willing to go through this with me?
How long will it take for them to leave us be?
How long until I can freely embrace you tight?
How long will it be until I can lie next to you at night?
How long will it be for them to realize it's true?
And how long will it be until they can see how much I love you?
