Nostalgic Hope

My heart comes alight Every time I close my eyes You live on my eyelids' inside I think about you every night Even when times get tough And I want to run away I close my eyes for a second or two You're enough to convince me to stay Today I found a picture of you It made me want to cry Knowing that I cant hold you now To find you, I'd travel far and wide I reminisce about our time Heart slowly breaking in two So many wasted opportunities Too bad, nothing I can do As time ticks away slowly On this sly-looking clock I tell myself reassuringly This is only a pit stop For one day I truly know That it will be worth the time That last barrier I will breach And together we'll elope, escaping for a while
