hold on

If I could hold you again I'd never let go. Our bodies entwine as time quickly goes, You whisper things into my ear, the wind blows. I shudder, but you draw me close. Time elapses and you have to go. My mind tells me yes, but my body screams no. Slowly, I let you depart, though I still hear the racing of your heart. Alone, I watch you as you drive away, I take a deep breathe, I miss your embrace. Silently I crawl into bed, but all my thoughts go around in my head. I lay there and wonder as I turn out the lights, What our future will hold, then I close my eyes. Time goes quickly, and the next thing I know, I'm standing at your grave it's covered with snow. The night was dark, he didn't look twice, Your friend he stole your life. Tears stream down from my face, I can still hear your heart, I hold my hands around my waist. I think over and over "how could I have reversed fate"? But not, I didn't hold on, and now its too late. If only it coud have been reversed, The words I think now, I would have said first. I love you, I loved you that night. Your taken away, youv'e gone from my life. I was careless, I let you go, You should have stayed longer, If I had only known. Now I have learned, my next moment could be my last, So I hold on to what I love. Hold on and fast.
