Don't Drift Away

I can feel you breathing as you sleep so quietly.

It’s getting harder to remember how things used to be.

There’s a wall that now surrounds you and it keeps me from getting in.

I’d break it with my fingers but then it builds again.

Don’t tell me everything is fine and nothing’s wrong.

Did you forget whose side I’m on?

Don’t drift away. We need each other now.

I’m drowning here in empathy and time is running out.

Give me a sign, don’t throw it all away.

I’m barely holding on out here by words you wouldn’t say.

I whisper words so softly even though you couldn’t hear.

I share with you my secrets and tell about my fears.

I need you now and always. I can’t do this on my own.

I guess once in a while we need some time alone.

But don’t tell me everything is fine and nothing’s wrong.

Did you forget whose side I’m on?

Don’t drift away. We need each other now.

I’m drowning here in empathy and time is running out.

Give me a sign, don’t throw it all away.

I’m barely holding on out here by words you wouldn’t say.

Our lives may not be perfect

but we’ll walk this road no matter where it goes.

In the end it will be worth it

and we’ll finally see what we were always meant to be.

I can’t wait to mend the seams

of this broken heart and these broken dreams.

Somewhere beyond where eyes can’t see

we’ll find a place- a place for you and me.
