.:lost in love:.

Time and Again
I pick up a pen
And try to write this letter

My love is here
When you are near
And life goes on forever

Page with a crease
Time will cease
As my love for you grows stronger

But is it all a lie
What I feel for you inside
When all we do is wonder
What would it be like
Wouldn't things be right
If we would've kept on trying

But instead we simply quit
Couldn't deal with it
And love ran down the river

Waves crash on our heads
And my body bends
As rocks keep me from swimming

But what if I swam around
Would we still have drowned
In this game that we called love
We tried to keep on going
Purely without knowing
That this would be the end

Obsticles met us
Crushed and beat us
And dashed our hearts upon the rocks

Now we're worlds apart
And I wish we could just start
To repair the love we shattered

Now the words come easily
But how I want to flee
From the hand that fate had dealt us
We should not have quit
And now here I sit
With a letter that won't reach you
