I slept today,
I slept the day away,
All the while thinking of you,
Dreaming of me along with you.
The hope and love in your eyes
Finally shining past years of sadness
As you take me into your arms,
Forever at last.
I must miss you so,
To dream of you like this,
And I must love you so,
To wish it were real.
It took me so long,
But I finally know.
You are my best friend,
You are the love of my life.
If only I were not so scared,
I would have known so long ago.
If only I were not so scared,
I would tell you this now.
You seem so happy without me now,
So happy with her.
I could not possibly risk my heart
When it may be too late,
And your love for me may be long gone.
But maybe it is time for me,
Time to finally open my heart to you
And take a risk,
Because you will stay with me forever,
And for now I can only hope,
That the sadness I now endow within my heart
Visible so fiercely in my eyes,
Will show me you are real.
The same sadness you once wore
Has now left you and passed on to me,
The only difference is
I will not give up without a fight.
So I will sleep today,
Sleep the day away,
And figure out a way to say,
I will love you now,
Now and forever more,
And I will not give up without a fight.
