Now

by ashtin   Feb 15, 2006


Your deep blue eyes burn into my soul.
And now, without you, I can never be whole.
I'm tired of wishing for the things unreal.
Because your love again, I'll never feel.
I'm trying to look on but I'm clinging to the past.
I thought that maybe this time it would last.
I guess, in truth, not all things do.
But yet, I will always love you.

Together with you is the only place I want to be.
And your happy face, all I ever want to see.
My heart rips at your every word since good-bye.
Because I just want to hear, "Let's give us another try."
And I wonder if I should still feel this way.
When forever in me, you will stay.

I can't seem to let go of something I never really had.
I can't cry over all that's bad.
Because the times with you were more than enough.
That's why the end has become so tough.

I miss the person that I was before.
Now, I just can't take much more.
You left me standing out in the cold.
With no one there to grasp onto and hold.
I can't find comfort with anyone else.
Now, not even in myself.
Oh, how I wish I could just reach out again.
I only dream of us as more than friends.
How could I end up with no where to hide?
To shelter these feelings I have inside.
Remembering that second chance, I pray for a third.
To say those words left unheard.
Turning back time is something I so long to do.
Just to relive the moments with you.
Those late nights staying on the phone, just to hear your voice.
Now, you've left me with but one choice.

I know I should wait as long as it takes.
Because the other guys, to me, they're just fakes.
The one I want to be with is you.
Waiting is all that's left to do.
But it will wind up being forever.
Or perhaps, maybe even never.
But if it were the last moments and I were in your arms, it would be the best.
At least then I could get some rest.

Because now, you're in my heart.
Something I should have seen coming from the start.
Without you, I'm not me.
Through your eyes, I see the person I could be.
I wish I could follow that path.
Maybe then I could be released from this unstoppable wrath.
But now I'm on the road of fears.
All you can see are these unshed tears.
This must be my destiny....My fate.
For on you, I choose to wait.
