I could sit in the sand, and forever stare at the ocean,
Counting the grains before they wash into the sea.
But I’ll choose to stay ahead of the tide,
So the waves will never catch up with me.

I can’t drown if I never set foot in the water,
I can’t shine unless I’m in the dark.
I can’t miss you if I never let you go,
And I can’t mend an unbroken heart.

I can’t turn back time to get you back,
I can’t pretend that nothing is wrong.
I can’t act like losing you was easy,
And I can’t accept that you’re gone.

One day I’ll see you again,
One day we’ll be together.
One day I will get you back, never let you go.
And one day we will start forever.

I could go on forever realizing what I can’t do,
Or I could pass the time with joyful things,
And count down the time until I see you.

— The End —
