my eyes are heavy
ready to sleep
but im afraid to close them
im afraid that you'll leave
im afraid when i wake
you'll be gone once more
i cant say goodbye
i cant lock the door
i cant tie you down
and keep you to myself
the world would get jealous
my mom would freak out

i wish i could hold you
a while longer u can stay
but u have a life to get back to
you cant run away
you cant keep on smiling
you cant even try
youve got to move on
i just dont understand why
why cant the world
just stop for our love
wouldnt it be nice
no one could stop us
but im gettin really tired
of pretending this world
is doin me any favors

im fighting to stay up
the few moments we have left
are flying right by
im holding my breath
if i dont turn around
maybe time will stand still
but its already too late
your clothes in hand
getting dressed so soon?
oh..time to go
i understand

this is the part i hate
hold u close till it hurts
till my breath is gone
till my chest starts to burn
but no im not sick
its my heart and my soul
u have them both now
just know what u hold
i tell u i love you
i see in your eyes
u dont want to leave
but u didnt even try
to lose your keys on purpose
your always so careful-
to not get caught here
lost in my arms forever
caught in your tears
but ill see you again
my door always open
and you always have the key
because i know that u love me

Don't know why but this reminded me of an old girlfriend...my Mom would send us out for icecream and we'd end up making out on the side of the mountain and by time we got back the icecream was melted...and silly things like that...after awhile we learned to make out first and buy the icecream later...James

"your clothes in hand

I loved those lines because I am still waiting for him to ask me to stay...

Somedays it hurts to breath.

I loved the poem.
