what will i do
when youve disappeared?
when your essence is gone,
and your voice isnt here?
when youre not on the phone
from dusk until dawn,
when youre no longer mine;
just a faded old song?
i cant stand the thought
of you going one day;
of your time running out
or us going separate ways.
nothing is permanent,
i know that youll go
whether by your own will
or at a time we dont know.
i remember back then
when i pushed you away
because i couldnt bear to bother
with something that wouldnt stay.
forever is a joke,
time harrows above you;
but until it runs out,
i will stay here to love you.
