Can't let go...

Thousands of nothings I want to tell you
At this moment when I see you go
This time, this moment, I wish would freeze
Or just a teeny wee bit, I wish, it could slow
If only I had the shackles to hold you back
The pain in my heart, sure, it would know

All of these are but wishful thoughts
This heart, unyielding, need to slow down
Hold me close, save a heartbeat or few
To keep instead when you are not around
Can’t take my eyes off you, the heart is picturing you
One for each day and each night it can count

Fly on, Oh beloved! on the iron bird
Into the deep sky – now being dyed red of blood
Ride the wind and the lightning bolt
My love as the shield, right through the clouds
Do all it takes and what your heart calls for
I promise you this with all of my love
This fight is not yours to fight alone
I too fight my heart for having to let you go.
