My Eternity

It's taken me so long to say this...
But you were never good for me.
I held on to you until there was nothing left
But you and me and eternity.

I let myself believe
Maybe someday it'd be true.
We would be together
Eternity, me and you.

I was never good enough
To keep your heart for long.
One moment you were holding me
The next one, you were gone.
The storm clouds slowly gathered
Over the meadow that we made.
Where we played in the sunshine
And napped in the shade.
I looked into your eyes and
They were as dark as the sky.
Thunder crashed around us
But we were invincible, you and I.

You whispered, "Be free."
And let go of my hand.
I gazed at it, confused,
I couldn't understand.
I dropped to my knees
And looked up at the sky.
I thought we were invincible
Always you, and I.

But you left me here alone
Thunder rumbling in my chest.
Lighning crashing all around me
In this place, I cannot rest.
Occasionally, you come
Fill me with warm sunlight.
Just for a moment, just long enough
To make me fear the night.
But you can't stay long
You never do.
I can hear her
Calling for you.
Beckoning you home
I am left here to roam
Alone with my eternity
Forever and always, you and me.

In this place of make believe.
Forever my eternity...
You and me.
You and me.
