Heaven Can Wait

by butterfly ♥ kisses   Apr 2, 2005


I can’t leave just yet,
For I have barely lived.
There’s still so much I have to do.
So much I still have to give.
My friends, they still need me
To help them through this mess we call life.
To wipe away the tears
And settle all the strife.
I need to have their friendship,
For it’s what keeps me going strong,
They shower me with love,
And have been there for me all along.
I know it’s been hard for them to watch
Me slowly slipping away.
I wish I could ease their fears
And let them know everything will be okay.
I haven’t had the chance to fall in love
And experience all that bliss.
To feel complete and surrender my heart
To the moment of that first kiss.
I haven’t been to Venice
Or sailed the ocean blue.
I have never really enjoyed the sunset
Or said all I have to say to you.
The words I feel I must get out
Seem to be caught just inside my throat.
Flooding my eyes and breaking my heart
With all the gratitude I owe.
You have stood beside me through all my pain.
You held my hand and promised me tomorrow
Just when I thought I’d reached the end.
I know that I worried you
And at times it was too much.
I feel like I should do so much more
Cause thank you just isn’t enough.
I feel this weight of guiltiness
For leaving you when I said I never could.
I promised you I’d fight this,
But now it’s ending the way I never thought it would.
There’s so much I still want to experience
And memories left to make.
There’s still time for me to be with you,
So for now heaven can wait.

Plz vote/comment thank you sooo much! :)
