at zero-dark-thirty this morning I’d been up all night, not feeling too right and the wallpaper got a bit boring There’s this place on the bed where your head used to lie and seeing you there always seemed right Now it holds a big empty and although I try I just can’t sleep without you tonight The sheets are all tangled and twisted the result of my failure to sleep so I finally surrendered the notion and released my heart so it could weep This obsession of mine on this absence of yours surely stretches my fabric of time while it might pass quickly in the world that you’re in it’s sure passing slowly in mine Can I be enough to fill up your heart even when I can’t always be near or will I come up short of some unknown measure and manifest my greatest fear? Tomorrow’s uncertain, and I have no answers I don’t have a clue what to do It’d be so much easier, a voice says inside if I could do it with my arms full of you Should I be the person I am here and now or the person I think I could be? Can I rise from this fear to a higher ideal and change my own reality? The choice falls to me, I accept it as mine and I’ll do my best right from the start The one thing I’m sure of I’ve known since I met you I can’t get you out of my heart I almost gave you a phone call at zero-dark-thirty this morning |
