trust

i reprise, i retrace,

i've got love for the chase,

your face when in place

that you've wanted to be,

 

i'm in space, i'm above,

i've got lives full of love,

and i'm choosing you with

all these words that i speak,

 

i can't lose, i could win,

i've got love that's within,

and i don't want to leave,

no i don't want to leave,

 

i've got you, i've got us,

i've got love more than lust,

i've got air that i breathe

and you, all i need.

 

i don't know, i can't go

through all this again,

i can't have you as friend,

when this turns into hate,

 

i won't fight but i might

keep this grip too tight,

fingers losing strength

such is fate,

 

i'll wish all the best

as heart sinks in chest,

i'll fail the test

and i'll show up late,

 

i'll have you, i'll have us,

i'll have all that and more,

until it falls to floor,

leaving empty space.

 

we dissect and we let

worst cases get the

best of us and

the rest of us,

 

and i know there are those

who hide within clothes

and feel like that they

can't adjust,

 

but if you take those fears,

dissolve them in years,

you'll find that they all fade,

they must,

 

so take chance on romance,

ignore all advance,

focus on now,

focus on trust.
