Sleep evades you...
when you're alone...
------------------------------ ------------------------------
So many things I want to say to you
So many things we still don't know
So much time we need to learn everything
And so little time I feel I have...
Saying goodnight never hurt so badly before
Sheets are cold when no one is with you.
Dreams are despair when you think of someone
You know you can't touch
My pillow is my only comfort--grasping it at night
Thinking, dreaming that it is you
Wishing you could feel my embrace
And praying I could feel yours in return
You say you needed a hug; didn't you realize...?
I give you one every night.
"I feel like my heart just flew down a couple states. When you're done with it, could you throw it back again?"
"I will."
"Nevermind. Keep it."
"Why?"
"Cause it's been yours for a while anyway. Even though I'm not expecting a lot, or anything at all, I'm comfortable keeping my heart with someone who appreciates it."
All the flaws, all the scars, all the weaknesses
And you treat this heart even better than your own.
How does one so delicate...hold another up so easily?
Don't try to catch me when I fall; I don't want to pin you down as well.
Yet here I stand--pieced back together
By a hand smaller than my own.
Perhaps size truly is just a misconception.
I never was good at intricate puzzles, anyway
If this pain is the reward for love
Then I shall brace myself for more,
Because I don't want it to go away.
I have drank away my tears before;
These...these I want to remember...
