A whole lot less than perfect... Not even O.K.

Walking alone with you
holding your hand
to keep my heart
a little bit warmer

Listening to the sound
of your voice
if only to remember it
when you're finally gone.

I would beg you
to not leave me
here -- alone, without you
but I know you'll leave anyway.

Keep on talking--
please, don't stop
because if you do
I might just forget.

I can't stand this feeling
anymore than I can handle
the thought of you when you go
and I'm sure I'll forget you.

Please, take me away
with you, tonight
don't let me stay here
in this horrid place.

Without you I can't live
sadness will be my suffication
and my love for you
will be like suicide.

So just keep walking
holding my hand
in the dark, tonight
and I'll pretend you're not dying.
