Frozen Forever

“Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow”.

A small stumble was all it took
to fall to the ground.
Hopeless, I lie there in silence,
praying to be found.

Crying in agony,
for someone to save me.

Reliving the pain,
again and again.

And out of the darkness you held out your hand,
to help me to stand.
You picked up the pieces I'd left on the floor,
so I'd love once more.

My tears dry when you are here,
There is nothing more to fear.

You'd give me another try,
when most would just wonder why.

Everyday feels like the best day of my life,
when I hold your hand I can't stop the butterflies inside.
All our time together seems to fly by so fast.
I'd risk everything because I know it will last.

At twilight I saw you
sitting at the edge of my bed,
your crystal blue eyes twinkling in the moonlight.

I sat up as you called my name,
And spoke to me,
your voice like the most beautiful lullaby,
like music to my ears.

Crawling towards you,
captivated by your existance,
enchanted by your ways,
I leant in to kiss your soft lips,
the lips I have yearned to kiss for so long in your absence.

But as I reached for you,
you faded, along with your melodic voice,
as the curve of the sun
rose slowly over the horizon.

And now I sit here in torment,
as if a thousand needles were stabbing me in the heart,
And in emptiness,
as no day is worth living
without you.

I had a change of heart.
I admit that I love you.
I had a change of heart.
I've changed all my views.

I had to give up what I had.
It took me 'til now to realise
that I had a change of heart.

I used to smile
when I heard your name.
Then we grew apart,
that was such a shame.

Anyhow, we're here
together again,
and I can count on you
as more then a friend.

I had a change of heart,
my heart told me to run to you.
You're never off my mind.
And I hope that you feel the same as I do.

I had to shout aloud my feelings
I'll never forget that great first meeting.
And I'll tell you now -
I had a change of heart!

It took me a while to figure out
the reason why I've acted this way for so long.
I know it's not your fault
but couldn't you at least care?

I've tried to quit but the guilt keeps flooding back.
I've tried to repent but there's still a reason there in my head.

The reason's shattered
but I'm trying to piece it back together.

Seems like a long time
since I was just like them.
Seems like forever since I truly had fun.
Seems like forever since I had the courage
to stand up tall and present to a large crowd.

And you'll never guess what.

That's exactly what I'm gonna do!
I'm gonna shout ten thousand praises to the heavens.
And that's for sure.
I'll repair that shattered glass.

I try to reach you but these chains keep holding me back.
I try to tell you but these fears keep holding me back.
I try to forget you, but my love for you keeps holding me back.

I sit here in silence,
a whole in my chest, empty and
alone.
Your voice echoes in my head like
the sweetest melody, with the most beautiful rhythm.
Only an hour ago, you held me in your arms and
gave me one last kiss. One that I would remember forever.
And now as I sit slumped on the sofa, reliving all our wonderful memories together,
I close my eyes.
And smile.
