Please don't fade away
Don't disappear
I want you to stay
Feeling you pull away
Is more painful than being pulled apart
I know that this thing in here is pretty small
This heart
Combined with this racing mind
They hunger for someone
That’ll invest some their time
But everyone fades away, don't they?
No one seems to want to stay
And most days, that's okay
But not today
No, today I need you
You're the anomaly
The rare one
The one that changes everything
You're different then those
That faded away after a few days
'Touched by fire'
Even your earlobes are special
You read
And work hard
An independent anomaly
And all of the past
Has brought us here
Together
What will we do with it, I wonder?
My co worker goes on and on
Talking about something
But I can't hear him
Because in my mind
I am with you
I nod along with something he is saying
With blank eyes
I am actually watching you dance in the kitchen
As you make beef stew for me and you
A bottle of red wine on the counter and a glass in your hand
As you twirl around
Grabbing my hand and making me join you
We spill our wine
And that's just fine
When you have someone
That makes you feel like this
A little spilled wine
Doesn't matter
Just you matter.
My stomach tosses and turns
Like a small boat in the middle of a raging sea
While I wait for you to reach out again
But you don't
And the storm gets worse.
I've only known you for three days
And feelings aren't supposed to work this way
The same people that call me lazy
Will call me crazy
For feeling this way already
As I am tossed out of my small boat by the storm
I feel so heavy
So heavy already
And I barely know you . . .
