Don’t let me go,
because when I’m gone I’m gone,
and I’m not coming back,
and the only thing I’ll leave behind are memories,
memories and these words,
that’re used to describe the absurd,
sure you might think this is permanent,
but I’ll tell you right now nothing is for sure,
don’t lose me before you have me,
I’m right here with my everything,
a song in my head and a beat in my heart,
a skip in my step and a willingness to be heard,
and to hear you,
I hear you,
believe me,
I hear you,
and I feel your pain,
I feel your joy,
I feel your everything,
I hear your voice,
loud and clear my dear,
no need to be so serious,
I mean nothing really matters anyways,
we’ll all be dead in a hundred years,
don’t even know why we’re here now,
I guess just to share some experiences,
before we’re both gone into the ether,
or our own collective memories,
we are one in millions,
our meeting was not by chance,
thing how many things had to happen,
for us to have this event,
this event as in our meeting,
I mean seriously,
every thing we ever did,
led us right here to this moment,
and now we’re together,
and we’ve created our own alternative reality,
where nothing matters except our emotions,
where we can just be ourselves let down our guards and play,
and it took so much for you to have me,
and now here I am,
and I only ask one thing,
please don’t let me go again,
don’t let me go,
because when I’m gone I’m gone,
and I’m not coming back,
and the only thing I’ll leave behind are memories…
