Chereads / Shadows before dawn. / Chapter 40 - What'll never be.

Chapter 40 - What'll never be.

I walked by your house this morning

You still lie there quietly snoring.

But that's okay,

It was early anyway.

I can't help but stop and wonder

If while you lie there in your slumber

Were you dreaming of me?

It's so unlikely.

And it's not fair 

When you're not there.

You know when you're near

I have no fear 

And I...

Hate when it shows.

So climb my stairs

And ring my bell.

If I'm not home you'd never tell

Cause I...

Won't let you know.

As close as we are

As close as we are

As close as we may be,

There will never be

Ever be

A "You and Me."

It's 8:19 

On 16th street.

I am thinking of you

While you're dreaming of me.

You're seeing lovely things

That I can't see.

Maybe you're dreaming of a man

That I can't be.

And when I look into your eyes

I already know.

That tonight, neither of us wants to be alone.

And you can see it on my face

So please don't go

Cause I don't want to be the one

To say "I told you so,"

Please don't tell me that you need me now...

I've closed my heart off and I don't know how

To live

To learn

To love your smile.

I'm losing control

For just a while...

No, it's not fair when you're not here

But it's been this way for so many years

And I've...

I've grown so cold.

I checked the mail

You never wrote.

You held my heart

As it cracked and broke.

So I...

Must let you know.

As close as we are

As close as we are

As close as we may be,

There will never be

Ever be

A "You and Me."
