I can feel you slipping away...

Has the spaces between my fingers grown wider? Has my hugs gotten loose? Has the bond that has kept us together grown weaker? Then why do I feel like I'm losing you?

 I can feel you slipping away....

Tried my best, used all I knew, but somewhere along the line I started losing you. Fought all the battles, even shot down my pride, but whats the sense if mine is dead, while yours is still alive? 

I can feel you slipping...

Through my fingers, not my heart, lord sure knows I hate this part. As the pirates would say "Shiver me timbers", for I'd be surprised if a day I'd wake far from bewildered. 

I can feel you...

Arms around me, face pressed to my chest, feels like just yesterday, an embrace of such tenderness. Waking from my dream, feeling you close, yet as I turned around, not even close. I miss you here, please help me alleviate this pain. 

I can feel...

My heart is breaking again, thoughts of losing my lover, thoughts of losing my friend. Far from appeasing, far from my heart's desirings. 

I can...

Fix this I shall, or so I thought, tried and tried but only tore us further apart. This brings headaches, trickling tears, mind set apart. I can try once more, to salvage our start. 

I...

All I can do is wait, try my best, hope I'm not too late. I can leave it to God, try to find my mistakes, but that's all I can do, I must try to remain sane.
