You're face could have been
long forgotten by now,
but I would never allow it.
I could never bring myself
to let the picture go.
Your eyes are a stuck image
inside this mind that lives
on thoughts of you.
I could have given you away,
but what would I gain?
Life without you is war without pain.
(It could not exsist.)
Life would not contain its shape;
...We hold it together.
You fear that I would betray you,
though my words
have only spoken otherwise.
You fear that I'd find fullfillment
in someone else's eyes.
Have you not seen the happiness
you create in me?
I have not a reason
to look through you.
You are all I care to need
and all I need to care for.
As promising and unfailing
as water on the shore
and you keep me coming back
for more.
You feed my addiction
with fragile words
of a promised future,
and we dream up our fairytales
detail by detail.
Ill wait for you,
that's all I can do
because the truth of the matter is,
there's no me without you.
We can make it,
just don't let me go....
I can do this but not alone.
