Watching you sleep,
Makes me feel rested
If I had my way,
Instead of you, I'd be tested
The tribulations you face,
That shouldn't be part of your fate at all,
They're mine as much as yours,
- As much as you are my all
Your eyes need sleep,
Your mind needs some calm,
Your body needs touch,
And I need to be your balm
When you laugh,
It's those moments that make my day,
When you are momentarily all right,
When moments are not grey
They say you can live your entire life in one moment,
And in moments you can know it all,
You are my moment of clarity,
You, standing there, standing right there tall

There's a deaf silence,
And traffic's passing sound
There's a loud noise inside,
And no one hears it around

There's a void,
And a gripping clench,
There's a weight on the chest,
And an unbearable stench

Is this that calm,
Before the proverbial storm?
Or is this the alpha and omega?
Where oblivion begins from

The creeping feeling,
Doesn't get shaken away,
The lighter moments are guests,
In moments they slip away

Take it away,
Take it away,
Take it all away now,
Take away the misery,
Or just tell me how

The portions of your person, you think aren't nice,
They're the best of you, when looked through my eyes
It's a gamble opening up a heart so soon,
When the only thing we share, is the same sun and moon
Still I feel, it's worth taking a chance,
'Least we can do, is have a dance
I want to know everything about you at once,
And then I don't want to run out of things to know
Without even catching your hand,
How do I not want to let go?

The hardest thing to hold on to
is the change that suddenly sweep you off
Stepping on once calm water
suddenly the undercurrents catch you unaware
Change for the better or worse
you will have to swim upstream and find out
