So that's it then
And there's if you moved on without me
Do not suffer as I do
It is so clear
What can I do
Yet I'll reach you somehow
With my mind, all I have
I will invade your dreams
I will not ask you for this right
I do not care
You must see me
Time is winning out
No I cannot touch you
But I will reach beyond dimension
Beyond realm, beyond memory
To touch you in some small way
And tell you, beg you to stop
Stop and think if what you're doing is that what you want
Is that what you think you are supposed to want
Does it
The only comfort you have ever knowing to feel safe
You're right to want this
And I'm wrong to want to stop you
But you need not make this move
Who says you must
If you love, if she loves
Why ask the world to take notice
Just let it be and call it loving
Out of choice, nor duty
Am I so blind
What do I not see when I look at her that you do
Why do I
Do you not know that everything you have ever wished for
Everything you are affraid to say out loud
Everything you hate and desire and will never understand
That lies in one that will never be brave enough to tell you
Can you but open your eyes for one single shiny moment
And see yourself in the way that I do
Can you not see that you are the answer to all my fears
And I can feel safe with you
Yes, I have my daggers and scars
And everything that will keep you back
But if you make this move
You close the door, you can never reopen it
And I will never pass it through to anyone
And I can tell you
That a life lived in waiting for what never comes
Is far better than a life contented in the knowledge
Of what's certain never meant to be
Can you not hate
Can you not be brave and see
Beyond this moment, beyond this sense of comfort and feelings
Your life open before you
Trusting the things to come
Believing they will be with the lead
And thrillilng in the thought
That you have no idea what the next string you bring you
And how I am you
And this you seen in the eyes
That you have so many times before
See the way I look at you
See the way that you will always be
And even dare to show
Believe in your power to get the thing you truly hope for
Even when it's the very thing that you fear
The thing you know other than what you hope to attain
Look into your heart
Does it wonder if you knew who you love
Who is it that facinates you
Who is it that knows you better than you yourself
Who is it that will be waiting here with all ends
At the end of the path
With a smooth and a sarcastic comment
And a kiss on the mouth
