It feels like you're already leaving
More like you're already gone.
In your voice I hear sorrow
where I used to hear song.
In your eyes I see pain
where I used to see pride.
You're pushing me away
but you still can't hide.
You should give me a chance
don't give up on me.
Just because you're leaving
doesn't mean I'm running free.
I know the end is coming.
I know we may not last.
But do you see me leaving?
A future can't erase the past.
I know you think I'm fragile,
and it's more than I can take.
You think this is the right thing
you're doing for my sake.
But you should give me a chance
don't give up on me.
Just because you're leaving
doesn't mean I'm running free.
Believe in me.
Believe in us.
There're some things in this world
you just have to trust.
You're assuming I'm weak
and it just isn't fair.
Believe me when I say
I'm not going anywhere.
You should give US a chance
we could be so much.
I can see a new world
in every single touch.
You just can't give up,
no not just yet.
Not with our worst challenge
still left unmet.
We can make it through,
I believe in you.
We can still make it through,
Yes I believe in you.
Sometimes it takes a lot,
a blind leap of faith
but if you close your eyes and leap
you'll always land safe
You can stand on the ledge
when your heart begins to pump,
but you just have to take my hand,
hold your breath;
and jump.
Open your hands.
Sing with your voice.
Take the right chance.
Make the right choice.

Sorry if I don't praise this adequately, but your lyric style really does it. I could tell this was a song. Enjoyable reading.

Wow!!! This is completely amazing! I mean you rhymed so well for the theme in which you spoke so well about, the diction, the words, so much of it hit me;
"A future can't erase the past."
^That hit me the most in all the poems ive ever read, because it gave me the answer Ive been searching for, thanks!!!
