Doing my best

Why does it have to be this way
looking at our old pics
remembering how we used to hold hands
and i lean to you
and whisper i love you in your ear

now in dreams i have you
and in reality you're only another lifetime away
when i'd live another life
to have you again

these days you're all i think about
reading our old notes
where you'd tell me how you loved me
and draw pics of us together

sometimes i wish
just this once
i could have you instead of everything else
because having you
is better than anything i've always wanted

i could stare into your eyes
not saying a word
our minds spoke together
i knew you loved me then
and i still love you now

i wake up every day
look at the clock to see if you'd call
realizing those days are over
realizing we can't always be together

i see signs every where
of how we should be together
maybe i'm just wrong
like any other time

but here i am
writing about you
living my life without you
and doing the best i can
