Never Lose That Day

You know me

I'm like you in many ways

It's only a matter of taste for the details

But I feel what you feel

You don't have to impress me

Or be the prettiest girl in the room

I don't want you at your best all time

We can't live together like that

I just want you to live near where my mind Iives

To understand my neighborhood

And the things that are pressing down upon me

I only need a bit of room to find myself

Or at least to remind myself who it is I'm trying to be

It's not that I can't be myself

It's just that I'm trying to be who I want you to be

Or maybe I'm trying not to expect so much of you

I just want things to be peaceful between us

I want you to be able to take care of what is important to you

And to live the life that is right for you

And if that means we cannot be lovers

Then let us part as friends

And if we see each other again

Let us remember there was a time when we saw something in each other

And it was enough to make us dream

Let us never lose that day
