A moment with you

A soft embrace
a moment to erase

I will not replace the memory of you
A laughter strong and true
an echo in my mind

Tender voices
whispered dreams
crushed with open seams

Mend my heart
I hold the needle
slowly stitching closed the wound
painful at first yet I know it will heal

Time passed by
a vague embrace
a soft hand not able to replace

I would give my life to have another moment with you
to feel your arms around me my head on your chest
the soft beating of you heart

My tears flowing freely
a wet stain I will leave

To hear your voice
the words I long to hear
that I am loved
I am not forgotten

I would give my life for just one moment with you
my misty memories I will hold onto
in fleeting moments of pain I will long for you
The stitches of my heart will heal yet there will always be a scar.
