End of Time

A tear rolls down my sodden cheek,
As I sit and watch you pass,
I stifle any cry I'd make,
Staring through the glass.
I saw him as he asked you,
A knife went through my heart...
What I had feared, was then made true,
My mind just fell apart.

Until the End of Time I’ll love you,
Until the End of Time I’ll stand,
Waiting here, with open arms,
Waiting on the sand.
No matter how long I wait,
I’ll be here every moment.
Waiting here, to let you in,
Until the End of Time is imminent.

No word in any tongue of tribe,
Can fully tell this tale,
No emotion can even fully describe,
The way I feel inside.
I want you to be happy,
So with him you shall remain,
But knowing he will bring you joy,
Leaves in my heart, a stinging pain.
I love you, and that’s the way it is,
No matter what anyone says,
But I just can’t bring that out onto my lips,
So, I’ll tell you here instead.

Until the End of Time I’ll love you,
Until the End of Time I’ll stand,
Waiting here, with open arms,
Waiting on the sand.
No matter how long I wait,
I’ll be here every moment.
Waiting here, to let you in,
Until the End of Time is imminent.

Unsure of what the future holds,
I simply let it go,
Lest I get caught within the folds,
Of Time’s ruthless flow.
So hear me now, and hear me true,
I’ll say this once again,
Sara Clark, I think I love you,
And I’ll love you till the End.
