AGAIN

Don’t tell me that

We….

See I can’t even finish the sentence

When it’s just like when we met

And Love chocked my voicebox

Locked out the hot air that players breathe

Until my ego fell to its knees

And I had no choice but to show you

Me…in all honesty

Humbly offering you eternity

So don’t you make a liar out of me

By telling me that

We can…

Wait...

Don’t you understand?

That I only became a man

When I decided to stand next to you?

Before God we promised never to break

No matter what we had to go through

Hell’s fire can’t burn me

But my heart can turn to stone

Just from a few harsh words from you

So don’t you tell me that

We can still be…

Because what we are right now

Is everything

I am

We are everything

I need

So please don’t let ugliness

Pass through your pretty lips

Don’t let yesterday

Forever hold our last kiss

For my sun doesn’t rise

Until I look in your eyes each morning

It’s then that I reaffirm my calling

Knowing the promise of a new day

Is a different way for our love to be displayed

I know we got sidetracked

Not for a lack of appreciation

My dedication is still focused

So just reflect on us

On the reasons we began

Just don’t tell me

We can still be friends

That’s just another way to say

This is the end

And all is lost

When all I really want is us

Again
