Alive and Close

a thousand words
can be written and passed
but none of them
will ever truly last

every look you give me
and smile you share
will never understand
how much i wish you cared

each breath you take
the way your chest flows
is proof you're with me
alive and close

maybe you'll just be a memory
tucked away and almost forgotten
every moment i hear your heart
i'll have wished i had gotten in

time will pass
with you long gone
i'll hope to see you
i'll hope to move on

torn between two feelings
both endings look grim
either way i'm destined
each move will carry sin

timeless days are impossible
with our hands entwined
each minutes seems to slip away
leaving our words behind

sometimes i wonder why
i say the things i do
and miss saying
what's really true

please don't let me fall
this drop is deep
the ledge is high
i'm fighting the leap.
