Take this On.

What if I could no longer breathe?
What if time had left my side?
Would you wait around and stay with me?
Would you still hold me if I am dead inside?

What if our Always was already stolen
And we were left with Never?
What then would be left to decide
If I am not able to promise forever?

If the truest love prevails
But darkness reigns over this choice,
If you knew that nothing could make this last
And your pleas will be nothing but an empty voice

Is there really much to choose
With the truth of sorrow looking you in the eye
Would it be too much to know you will lose
Promises not broken, If they are never spoken
Will you leave me behind then, after I Die?

If I gave you a heart that has no will to live
If the eyes you gaze into are timeless but empty
If I gave you a soul, that is not mine to give
Destined to die, would you die beside me?

If you know death will come for me,
Place his kiss upon my lips
Would you be strong enough to bury me
Left Living in the insanity of things you miss?

If I told you Now to choose your fate
Before time creates this bond
Before foundations are built on sticks and stones
Would you cling to safety or take this on?
