You can find me in the future

When you can see again

Once you can see past the shadows that fill your eyes

 

You know I love you so much

Know you can come know me again

Once you forget who you think you know

 

You know I want to know you too

When you stop hiding your face

Then we can begin to know each other again

 

You know how bad we are right now

I need to lose you to keep you

Eventually maybe we can be better than we are right now

 

You can’t be near me now

And I really shouldn’t be near you

Because I am afraid to be only with me

 

You will be okay

I trust you and you can trust me

We will know each other once more
