Now


You knocked on my door, and I said no,

but now that I've opened the door to let you in,

I find that I'm the one knocking now.

 

It's been a while now, and I said never,

but now that I see you for who you are

I see that I need you more now than ever.

 

Sometimes I say that I'll walk away,

leave like nothing, like the nothing we have,

but now I find that I can't let you go.

 

You told me you'd make me love you,

I shook my head and said not now,

but now it's me telling you, I love you.

 

I confused loss of words for loss of way,

but now there's so much more I want to say.

Please stay, I can't live without you.
