holding on to you
while we sleep
gripping the sheets
anything to comfort me
as i delude myself
into you not leaving
you staying here
us having everything to be as i've dreamed
as i dream
breathe
don't wanna grieve
at an airport
don't wanna cliched picture
of me watching you walk away
your back blurred by my tears
as i succumb to my fears
and worry that you'll never come back to me
never return
like you promised

can't feed into the much repeated scenario
and urge you not to leave me
please, babe, please
i'm beggin you
don't make me plead.

just one more day
one more week
another month?
just one more year?
please, don't leave me
take
me
with
you,
babe,
please. please. please...

i miss you already
and you're nowhere near gone
i can still hold you
how i wanna
when i wanna
so attached to you i've become
how am i gonna do this?
how?
can you wean me?
because i refuse to quit cold turkey.
not that i can
because i know full well that i can't
i can't
i can't
i've grown to need you.
