Hold Onto Me, Love

Seemingly flawless, this love looks to me I’m caught up in it, if only just for now But, this is all I need to make me happy Even though I know it will break me somehow. This love, I hold it closely-- It makes me feel forever free; It gives me the power to do as I please But I’m aware this will not always be. For every high, there must come a low And great love is short -lived, they say But for now I’m holding on tightly to mine, I will not give it up today. Love feels like a paradise, it makes me ask, “Why does such magic fade?” It’s obvious it’s a losing game But still, the game is played. Right now I’m so high I must come down I will come down soon, and I am afraid I don’t want to lose this love of mine I refuse to say goodbye today. Just please hold me for a little bit longer, Love, don’t leave me this way And even if just for pretend, please stay forever, Because I know I can’t handle you going away.
