I stopped counting the hours between yesterday and entirety
i lost count when a year turned into seven
and the memory of you began to fade away
i held you so close
captured the image of you in my mind
locked the sound of you voice away
telling myself you'd never fade
but each time i close my eyes . . .
your gone a little more
and the ache i buried away
burns a hole in my soul
there's a word thats been lingering on my lips
sitting between this breathe and the next
and i won't speak
and the seconds tick away
taking with it another memory my mind won't keep
if i don't cry
if i don't speak
if i don't . . .
the tears fall
and i breathe one final word
as i watch you fade away
and the minutes continue on until i see you again.
