Erase

I know everywhere I've been
And I far from want to be back there again
I have no idea where I'm going
So much for being, over my life, all knowing
I have o more seeds that needs sewing
All I've ever really wanted to do was to settle down my heart
Now I'm finding myself trying so hard to make another start
And I can't look at things around me the same
I love many, but have only known to have been in love once, close to me I will carry his 
memory and name
Life's wild constant of some sick and difficult game
And no one is to blame
The love I hold for him was never love that was vain
The miles between him and I are long
And together is where we belong
The cities that separate us are, to me now, a temporary glimpse of fate
Which now causes my heart, mind, and soul, for him, to wait
Sometimes love realizes some things way to late
Everyday he's on my lonely mind
I lie awake in the dead of each night thinking of him all the time
I wonder if he is somewhere thinking of me
He floods my ever-waking moments, and he is right by my side in all my dreams
When all is said and done
I will still forever believe that for me, he is the only one
It never gets any easier, always it's harder as I go
Feel like I'm standing on the edge up so high, as I look down at everything below
And all things happen for a reason, yes I know
But what reason do I possibly have for holding on for so long and so tight
All I know for certain is it don't feel wrong at all, this feels so very right
Maybe from that edge I should let go and spread my wings to take flight
Just disappear without a single trace
Easier said than done so for now I'm stuck in this place
Time going by so fast, yet life happening in the moment seems to pass daily at such a damn 
slow pace
And he ever coming back to my arms is against the odds, I understand very much but is 
hard for me to face
But I keep hanging on because our moments together and those that should now be, time 
can and will never be able to erase
