Follow your heart.


The roses by my window were starting to wither 
Because of that, I knew I was losing her 
That's when I said 
"Just keep livin' 
There's a new day dawning 
Just be strong now 
Please don't leave me 
Tell me darling, 
Do you really love me 
'Cause if you did 
You'd stay here by my side 
I wanna be with you now 
Through the fleeting distance 
Our hearts beat as one 
I'll be right here when you wake up 
We can stay together 
Keep on breathing for me 
I wanna be with you now 
Through the growing distance 
Our love has come undone 
Please stay here a little longer 
We can go together" 
They took her body 
"I wanna be with you" 

The roses by my window are all gone 
She's been away five years too long 
I guess it's time to move on
That's when I said  
"I know it's worth trying 
Baby, you've been hurt too
I know what you're goin' through 
Trust me, I remember 
We met on the eve of December 
And I'd fallen for you by the end of Winter 
I wanna be with you now 
Through the fleeting distance 
Our hearts beat as one 
I don't care what you've done 
We can start over 
My love, I promise that 
I wanna be with you now 
Through the growing distance 
Two broken hearts can beat together 
Can't you see we were made for each other 
We could be forever" 
Oh, dearest!
"I need to be with you."

I wrote this song for my brother's band, it's about the death of my first love (something I write about often) and I figured I ought to post the lyrics here as well.

It's always nice to know when someone relates to my work, especially on this subject. Thank you.

...This really hits home for me. I lost my great-grandma and a good friend to leukemia right before school started last year. I feel your pain, man.
