you'll always be mine.

i'm ready to start anew,
ready to leave behind,
all we've been through,
open this door, and let me fly,
let me love you, as i say good bye,
these times won't be ours again,
i'll tear, as i set myself up for them,
i'll cry, for that love, you gave me,
as i took it, grateful, of the times you've saved me,
and i'll look at you, with endearing eyes,
as the world moves on and passes us by,
two lovers, caught in time,
just two lovers, dancing to this silly rhyme,
as i take a step back, the tears flow,
i can't bear with parting,
as i let you go.

the time is so close, it's slipping away
all the things, i could never say,
flood me over, as i listen to you pray,
a million things and one, as i think about today,
how i wish, you were here to stay,
as i think about a life without you, gone astray.

and i wish now, our time was long,
as our time grows short, all the things i've meant to say,
just come out in an unexpected way.
and feelings like this, only come in two,
and feelings like this, only come in few,
and as i see you slowly slip away to,
i can only choke out three words,
"i love you"
