Don't you know how much I want you?
I don't want to let you go.
I call out your name and reach out for you.
I twist and turn all my thoughts around in my dizzy head,
Just trying to replace you.
Don't you know this is getting harder and you are slowly slipping farther behind.
Farther from my mind,
Slipping farther than ever before.
Your candle has blown out and the flame in my heart has smoldered and is disappearing.
The cold night air comes in my window and brushes all my feelings away.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath of cold air into my lungs,
I feel refreshed inside.
You are washed away from me like the tides that come in and out so suddenly,
The vision of you is gone along with the forgotten memories,
I turn away from the warm candle flame,
I see your eyes in the shadows all around me.
I take another deep breath and shut my eyes trying to forget all the promises made that were broken apart like shattered glass.
Your breath against my neck,
The whispers in my ear,
They all slip away in the smoke that I have blown out from the burning candle in the dark.
As I lay alone in the darkness, I wonder....
Don't you know,
You've got to know,
But please don't go.
