Something is making me hold back
From losing you.
I am not sure anymore
Whether love can be true.


I have been thru the motions
Many times before
I do not even know
What to look for anymore.


Along with the love
Must come the heartache,
And I do not think
That is something I could take.


So what are you to do
Love me
And wait for a love
That may not be.


And what am I do do
Hold you back
from finding a love
that is worthy of you.


Maybe you will come to realize
That love is not what you feel
Maybe you will start to realize
That what feels like love is not real.


Or


Maybe I will start loving you
And it will be to late.
Things like that are expected
Life's cruelties are sometimes fate.


Whatever time we do spend
Whether it be until tomorrow or forever
I will cherish the time
That we spend together!
