without you

It's hard to imagine a day that goes by
where I don't think of who you are
what your hand would feel like in mine
how our lips would feel meshed together.

It's impossible to imagine a day with out you
a day when I wake up and you're not there.
I'd tear apart my brain trying to picture you
realizing you're gone forever, it wouldn't be fair.

I avoid thinking about my life without you,
What it once was and what it would be.
The emotions locked inside, long overdue
I'd tremble on my knees just to see.

If I could, I'd tear open my heart
and show you how perfectly you fit
And how perfect you have from the start.
I'd brush off the chair of my past to let you sit.

Before the night is over, you'll understand
all the reasons I sometimes hide my face.
All the reasons I never take a stand
And maybe then my mistakes can be erased.
