Touch and Breathe
Everyone has heard it said a million times before
Time heals all wounds you past you eventually will be able to shut the door
And broken hearts can and will always mend
I for one can not however pretend
If what they say is so true
Then why have I not yet been able to get over you
You are right there in all I do
I look around
And although no one is making any kind of sound
I hear your voice calling my name
It's oh so loud
I know I only have for this myself to blame
For ever letting you get away
So I'm here barely getting through my day
Everywhere I see your face
That's something in which time will never erase
With anyone you I could never replace
I've prayed to God, have talked to myself along with family and friends
Yet it still quite never ends
Never did I ever believe that true love could hurt this bad, this much, this often or this long
Now I've come to know that on that I was wrong
Even in trying to be strong
I end up finding I'm still the one who is week
Alone, cold and meek
I'm trying so hard not to break down and cry
Here I am still standing yes but pretending that I'm not completely dyeing inside
All the while my heart is aching more and more
It hurts so damn much my body will no longer rise up off the floor
Listen closely do you hear it
That's me knocking on your hearts door
I need you now like I needed you before
Our moments and memories I carry every where with me
It's because of you I sing my songs
You are the reason for my wanting to become strong
The love I have for you is right I know remaining apart is wrong
To you my story has been told
Yet she's the one for now that has you to hold
I'm the one however willing and ready to be there as we grow old
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Back to the first moment you were mine
I regret the day I left your side
But I can't time has past and moments need to move on
And all we are left with are the memories that will never be gone
My feelings for you will never again go away to hide
I'm grateful for our moments and all or memories everyday
No one can or will ever be able to take any of them away
But while I love them ever so much
You should know by now it's very clear
I need you near
I so desperately long to once again have your touch
Even if just for one more moment in time to create yet another memory
The very thought of once again to touch and breathe
