Moving Away

My heart aches so bad because I’m moving away

Will he come to see me?

I’ll be far away

But we both know I have to go

There hasn’t been enough time to really know you

But yet I love you all the same

Please don’t tell me it’s over

Commit to seeing me again

My heart would shatter into a thousand pieces

If I never saw you again

Please baby at least say “I love you” before I go so I know your feelings are true

We both know I have to follow my dreams and do what makes me happy

But my future is nothing without you

I know it’s complicated

And I know it’s messy

But we can make it work

That much is true

We are like teenagers when we are together

And they say it is important to stay young at heart

We laugh

We love

We are inseparable

We are infinite

We should be growing old together

Time is running out

I have to leave soon

Why must my heart be breaking when it should be rejoicing over this new opportunity

Don’t tell me goodbye

I’m starting to suffocate

I want to cry

My broken heart wants to die

I’m going to hyperventilate at the thought of losing you

It’s not over

I’ll keep telling myself you’ll be there to see me in no time

And your feelings will be announced

I’ll tell myself you miss me every day and it’s driving you mad

So you’ll have to see me

I’ll remind myself that you feel the same

I’ll tell myself constantly

Until you are ready to tell me yourself

Please baby don’t let me lose someone I’ve loved more than anyone else in my entire life combined

I need more time

I need to be a part of your life

I want to be the one you wake up to and the one you always kiss goodnight

I want to be your forever

Don’t let it end like this

(Please!)

Dreams

Why can't I get you out of my head?

Now you invade my dreams and I long to sleep just to be with you

Your touch is so addictive

It's like lightning

You smile at me and my heart beats fast like it's trying to win a race

You make me want to melt and become a part of you

Every minute I spend without you is torture

All I want is for you to hold me near

Why can't we just lie together forever and let the world go by

Why must we wait an eternity to be together on our own again

Your breath on my neck is all I need

Your body pressed against mine is all I want

Sing sweet symphonies with me in the bedroom

And tell me you will always be mine

Go away with me

Run away with me now

Let's elope

Let's leave it all behind

I know you want to -

So let's just dive right in

We were meant to be together

You & I

Already Lost

Would you even care if I’m gone?

You see me drowning but you do not stop to save me

You let the water take me in till I am no more

You mock my pain in the shadows of the night where you think no one will know

But I know

I know all too well that you planned my demise from the beginning

You planned for your hungry dogs to tear me apart and devour my soul

Sport, you called it

Just a bit of fun in the game of love

Why do the bystanders near me walk on by like nothing’s wrong?

Yet they see what you’ve done to me and the shell I’ve become

If no one is willing to jump in to save me

Then it is true that I’m a dying breed

Perhaps they all mock me in the shadows with you

Or do they have a bet upon my head to see if I will live or die?

They all must enjoy the gnashing of teeth

And the sound of dismay

For no one will simply reach in and give me a helping hand

What have I done to make you all hate me so,

To make sport of my undoing so easily?

For what it’s worth I’m sorry

Alas, let me drown so I can hope to wake in greener, happier pastures
