And so I try to hold the time in my hands,
But couldn't get a grip of what I cannot see.
So, I seek an inner understanding of all those dreams,
Hoping I will be the one when they are complete.

But if I cry just before you leave,
and asks you to hold me longer than ever before,
I just want to know how it feels to be so near to you,
Before you go afar and catch a last glimpse from you.

But someday we will meet again,
And someday we will dance,
And if the world would want to cut it,
...I won't let them
...We won't let them
...Because I think I would want to hold you forever.

Pain mixed with yet a light of hope. I enjoyed this one very much.

Welcome to the Pub, Meg! This piece is hard to take (at least for me). I can understand the pain you feel... Great work! Bravo! ~~Jamie

"I keep breaking all the promises
That I keep making to myself
You'd think by now that I'd be over this
Instead I'm feeling sorry for myself
So why does everything seem desperate now?
I should be feeling so alive
But it feels like something's missing
Something's wrong somehow
It feels like something deep inside has died..."
