Lost in one of these times
Kaleidoscopic images increase
the worlds racing around
yet I steep at a slow pace
absorbing it all
Until something appears the same
noticing the circles
the relative familiarities
relating your position to that of once mine
In your shoes I stood
Don't fall
Don't jump too quickly
the line seems loose
But I'm keeping it that way for you
Drifting away
no its not the same
I know its easy to say
but its harder to feel this way
and time I can't assure
these moments
the ones we hold dear
they're all I can promise
premature conclusions being made
I'm fighting with my heart
fighting with my brain
the compromise lies on my lips
yet I'm so afraid to speak
I know what I want
what I feel
But in the end
I don't want to be the one to win
What you're wagering
I know that risk
Ive experienced it
Ive crossed that bridge
Its one path Id rather you not travel
I guess I don't even know what I'm trying to say
I cant promise you forever
thats my biggest fear
I don't want to leave you stranded
broken beyond compare
Ive been taught a little something about forever
it only lasts as long as you make it
and the attempts are often forsaken
forever now isn't forever tomorrow
but a shattered heart today
is still a broken dream tomorrow
and down the road
a million miles away
its these decisions made
determining the outcome we experience
the lessons we learn
its whats taught me to be so leery
so afraid
I want to love
I want to keep you near
But I'm no good
I'm not the best
I'm not the greatest
Ill hold you close
attempt to keep you near
but in the end
I fear
I will hurt you more than the benefits you'll reap
Solutions I can not find
I'm afraid to leave
going..
letting these feelings fall behind
relationships formed
I treasure now
but in the end
its the promise of forever I fear
falling away
falling down
letting go
Underneath a trillion stars
beyond the complexity of galaxies and moons
beneath it all
lies me and you
6 feet under the stars...
the damage I wish not to do
