just as leaving this place is a last resort,
so is staying and forgetting about you
i know you would rather we only be friends
but to my heart that would never be true

i need you just as i need my own breath
and as such i can't breathe when you're gone
though nearby, you're always forever away
i can't reach you, can't see you, i'm alone

someday when we meet i'll look into your eyes,
those blue deaths i suffer each night;
in that beauty i cherish i'll open my soul,
and with silence you'll know we are right

though today you've forgotten to give me a call,
i'll remember the time that you did;
that night, how we spoke for hours on end,
how i felt you could be my best friend

i miss you, your voice, your eyes, and your smile,
i need you to rest in my arms;
but since we're apart and will be for a while,
i'll just dream of you keeping me warm~
