How long?

by chris johnson   Apr 8, 2009


With the strength I see in you each day
I begin to feel weak
How long will you continue to journey through
Till you stumble upon what you seek

You leaned on me when you couldn't stand
And I learned to lean back
With troubles and problems we learned to share
Now what did we lack

Did you say you loved me everyday
Or was that what I thought
With angels singing when I heard your name
It was only you I sought

Seeking blindly without using my eyes
I utilized my heart
As it beat uncontrollably when you were near
I hated when we were apart

How long has it been since you've said my name
A day? A week? Or more?
How long has it been since you've thought of me
Because I can tell you that I adore

Every second we shared together
Every instant we enjoyed
I loved all the things that made you you
And even when you were annoyed

I learned to care about you with everything
to hold on with dear might
Because as soon as I would let go of you
You would befall someone else's sight

Why is it fate that we shared this time
If it were to only end
With no emotion or care for me at all
Not even trying to pretend

Inevitable it is for my life
To forever walk alone
Because just walked out of my life
So has everyone else I've known

As I try to see if anyone's looking back
I can't make out a face
Just countless bodies that begin to disappear
And I'll never find a trace

As I grasp at the nothingness in my life
I hope that you are fine
Because I'd wish that you can be happy love
Than to be miserable and mine.
