Give and Take

Give and Take
__________________________
Hold my hand,
as you have my heart
promise that you'll be gentle
it's apt to fall apart.

Take my breath,
you've left me not breathing
my pulse is racing
from this heart that is beating.

Take my life,
as you have everything else
my all and everything
every bit of myself.

Take me away,
we must not stay here
you've had me forever
now the ending is near.

Here's the stars,
you once gave to me
take my hand just once more
while my soul is set free.

Here is the kisses,
I shall leave them with you
one day we'll meet again
so please don't feel blue.

Take this "be seeing you",
like you did a hello
I'll love you forever
and wont ever let go.
