Today I woke up in fear
That tomorrow you won’t be here
I wish my house could forever be your home
I dread the rainy days I’ll be alone
And open my eyes to see you’re gone

I crave too much
Your velvet hands, your corduroy touch
The gentle warmth of your embrace
The silk of your hair brushing my face
The glowing ember in your eye
The blazing shine when you smile

I fight with the anxiety
Facing the unbearable reality
That night pushes away the sun
That we’re racing a pointless run
That our castles will shatter on a blast
And we’ll soon vanish in the past

And even though I understand
A snowflake will melt in my hand
We are only guests in this foreign land,
Still I’m scared of the winds that blow
And not prepared to let you go

But I must not wake up in fear
In this radiant morning we are both here
With your head resting on my shoulder
I will blow all dark clouds over
To let the sunshine ease my mind
And celebrate we are alive
