Like Water

You're like water,

Trickling through my fingoers.

I lost you,

And the only trace

You've left for me to hold on to

Is this strange feeling on my skin.

But it's been so long now,

And it's fading.

I miss the days

When I had that feeling all the time.

It's almost gone,

And as much as I hated it

Back when I had it,

I want it back.

Wish you were with me now,

Standing right here by my side.

Sure,

You never did hold my hand.

But I think that maybe,

If i changed enough,

And people wouldn't laugh,

We could be together.

Maybe in a different life,

We could've been.

But in this one,

You're just the water

Running through my fingers.

And no matter how hard I try

To keep you in my grasp,

Somehow,

You always get away.

We were getting closer and closer

To where I've always wished we'd be someday.

But I know I'm stupid to wish that,

Since you've got no clue as to how I feel.

Please don't go any farther

Than you are.

I don't think I could take it.

Stay,

Please,

Just a little bit longer.

Don't break my heart

Any worse than you already have.

'Cause if you do,

It might just stop beating.

It's hard to believe it still is,

Considering the condition it's in.

I had you at one time.

I did,

I remember.

Wish I could go back to those days.

You weren't mine,

But we were so much closer.

Don't walk away,

Don't slip away from me,

'Cause I know I'll fall if you do.

Just like water,

You keep slipping away

Just after I've got you back.

When I met you,

We were both different from who we are now,

But that can't stop me from loving you.

When I met you,

I was happy.

And meeting you made me even happier.

But then you slipped away from me.

I found you,

Many years later.

But just like back then,

You've slipped away from me again.

Just like water.
