At Water's Edge

Sitting at the edge of the water
Staring at the ocean
Wondering if it was as deep as my love for you
My eyes close, I let my thoughts of you roam
You take me into your arms
Your head pressed against my back
No words said, just feelings felt
It was perfect, nothing to could ruin it
I never cared about anything else
I never wanted you to leave
i needed you with me every night
You needed my heart, my love
I would give it to you over and over again
We should've been together forever
We made promises,
We made sacrifices.
Why did Fate have to be so cruel?
Happiness always seemed to elude me
I couldn't save you
Now I needed to be saved too

Your memories haunt me
I want you out of my life
But I take you back every night
I can't sleep without your image in my head
I wish I could see you one more time
Outside of my head
Feel your body one more time
Your lips on mine
I want to get lost in your eyes again
I need to hear you say you love me one more time
Could I ever fall in love again?
You took my heart when you left
I'm empty, just a hollow shell
I had a wall, I put up my defenses
You sneaked past and I fell
You left! No hugs, no goodbyes
I knelt beside your bed,
Holding your cold hands hoping you would feel it
Hoping you would hear my voice,
Find your way back to me
Silence...
I knew your were gone,
I couldn't accept it
How was I to live without you?

Lord take me too
She didn't deserve to be there alone
She needed me
I needed her
The thought of death never felt so appealing
What was on the other side?
I never really cared
Wherever she was, that was home
I would find peace and love again
Sitting at the edge of the ocean
Silently saying goodbye to the world behind
I got up to walk into the water
To let the ocean take me to you
I closed my eyes and smile
Inside I prayed for a sign
That I would be able to go on without you
The water seemed to give way as I proceeded
This was it, this was my last moment
Peace...
Then I felt it, a hand then a voice
All in my head I presumed
Somehow I get pulled out of my reverie
I turned and saw her pulling me

I wasn't going to let Fate ruin this for me
My lover was waiting for me
But I made a mistake
I looked into my strangers eyes
It captured me
Fear, compassion, pity, love?
Was this my sign?
I followed her lead out of the water
I let her talk me out of it
Maybe I could continue living
Your memory forever etched in my heart
Back at the edge of the water
Staring at the ocean
My saviour's hand in mine
Supporting me, strengthening me
I'm sorry my love.
I loved you, I always will.
You're my past but she's my present
My future.
Fate was kind to me
Gave me a second chance
I would never be free of you
But this is goodbye.
