Priorities

Priorities

I Know that I've hurt you
Let me tell you, "I apologize."
I know I messed up, and told you madd lies.
Our lack of understanding has brought us to this break.
but with better communication, this break we can escape.

I feel like I'm losing you; you're slipping away.
No, I can't lose you; When it comes down to it I really want you to stay.
No one could ever bring me these feelings that you bring to me
Your hugs, your kisses, and how I love your touch...
Things have been difficult for the both of us.

If you really want to leave, I have to let you go.
I'll wait to see if you come back to me, but only God knows.
So I'll keep "us" in my prayer; I'll keep you close to my heart.
I'll be loving you forever more; I'm just scared for you to part.

The feeling of missing you has overcome me so quickly.
Sometimes I feel as if I'm sitting in the dark as you move by me so swiftly.
Here and then gone? I'm not sure that I can cope.
but I can tell you one thing, I keep my faith and hope.
I say all of that to let you know this...
You're the one that I love and the one I'll truly miss.
