Potential

9-27-09

Please don't fall asleep tonight
At least not while I'm here and by your side
I don't want to miss my very last chance to hold you

These are the thoughts I have from so many nights
The nights I sing you lullabies
In the form of trying to help you hold your head up high

Sometimes it's like all that we have left of us
The longer you stay // The more alive I feel
Maybe just tonight I can keep you here with me.

The clock is driving me insane
It moves far to rapidly for me
You say it's inevitable so it soon will come
But lie to me so I can feel this glory just a little longer

Don't go to bed.
It's not that I'm just worried of being alone or by myself
It's actually the fear that we'll never embrace like this again.

Maybe I should be mad
Or spiteful
Or an absolute prick

So much more hurt that this can be
When I open my eyes and see how you really feel...

I''m started to see that every time together could be our last
Soon I'll be pushed aside

And our potential thrown to the past.
