things are now beginnning,

things are now beginning,
to fall into place...
they're starting to make sense,
the memories i can't replace...

like the nights you sat with me,
and the days we would just talk...
they were the conversations that lasted hours,
and the nights i will never get back...

but looking at it now...
i'm finally starting to see...
that all those times we spent together,
were vital for you and me...

like the night we went to homecoming,
and two weeks ago...
i met a new side of you
the one it hurts to know...

its the side of you thats tired...
the hurt and torn up soul...
you let me see the side of you,
that is no longer whole...

and because of that we are closer
and i can better understand...
i can look in your eyes
and enforce that very last strand...

that strand of hope...
that strand of life...
the one thats holding
off the knife...

that strand i will now nurture...
protect and hold it dear...
until the day we waste away
and the end is finally here...
