Description
There was a time
when everytime you passed me
your hands traced my shoulders
and you touched my lips
I'd always catch you looking at me
out of the corner of your eye.
I felt good.

        You disappeared
        a long time ago
        I fear this shell
        we keep running in
        is breaking down
        alone, here I am again
        my heart is in my hands

There was a time
when you'd cast a look
that lit me on fire
and the passion that glowed
lit the very fires of hell
and we endulged

        But that's gone now
        for a long time
        Our awkward motions
        I can't quite please you
        anymore
        alone, I make the moves
        your hands
        are nowhere to be seen

There was a time
when I thought we could make it
I thought we could win
but that's quickly fading
as your presence here
lessens until diminished
and I can't recognize
the girl I fell in love with

        That love, disappeared
        replaced and ruined
        by apathy and fear
        of change and the lonely chill
        alone, devoid
        your hands
        thrust into the black

After me, because you fear
more than I, the time after.
not that you'll lose me
but that your life
will no longer be assured

        no longer love, in what we have
        I feel changed, and jaded
        with nothing left in you
        warm your hands in mine

        for one last time.
