For a brief moment I am here, but not for very long,
Take me for everything before what is blissful is gone.
And when time has past, when we are through,
Know that I'm perched somewhere thinking of you.
Each day that evening light begins to shade those once glistening eyes,
I'm aware of losing that glowing gaze
But taking your heart, your warmth, your years
As nothing but caused me, tears upon tears.
Forget me not for it is true that I long for your sweet touch
In moments of purity it is only you that can hurt so much.
Bounce through my dreams,
Rip up my hopes,
Knock me off my carefully plotted feet.
All of my worth, my strength and my hope
Is gone, leaving me weak.
Forget me not in all of your days
Remember who has touched you so.
Longing and laughing and humming sweet tunes
Making them only for you to boast.
Into my arms you softly align,
Slipping softly down on my skin,
In those few moments I know your mine,
But never forever, not him.
Forget me not, I do beg you
To picture me all of your days
And think of movements that could only be us,
Then we will stay that way, always.
Can I just have one more chance, to declare how I feel
On blended knee I'm bleeding the truth
Telling you how you should feel.
Is it madness to profess such pain, the wishes of mine were once yours?
To shout it out for all to hear
When will you listen to my bowing down
Just say it, you don't want to be here.
Why am I pleading to those lost brown eyes
When its plain to see that your gone.
Is it possible that you were never mine,
How did I get it so wrong.
Will you listen when I say that it is only you each night
That star that we once wished upon is no longer shining bright.
It happens, you know, or so I hear
Love changes with passing time.
Remember the look I gave to you
But know in time I will be fine.
Forget me not but give away
All you couldn't give to me.
Know that all of what we once wished for
Was never meant to be!
