I hate that I don't really know you,
As my heart pretends it does,
And it is so scary to think that it wasn't,
What my soul believed it was.

But if I were to keep you where you are,
Forever, what would that do?
Yes, I may make it through another day,
But what would become of you?

I just can't ask you to wait for me,
I love you and want you to smile.
And I know my "little time to think,"
Has turned into "quite a while."

So let your soul lead you where it may,
For your happiness, alone, sets me free.
Just know at the end of every day,
It's your face that I see.
