Keeping the Peace

She was the dream I always had,
always in the back of my mind.
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about us.
So my heart is filled with regret,
She is as beautiful as ever I bet.
I can still smell her on my pillow,
and in all of my sweaters.
I can still see her standing in the doorway,
her image just won't fade.

And if I could cross that line,
I would touch her lips oh so soft with mine.
And hold her closer then I ever did before.
I would wipe away all her running tears,
and scare away all of her fears.
I would do whatever I could to keep the peace. 

I would be the lover she want me to be.

Her beauty exceeds this reality,

So is this real or am I dreaming?

Oh how I miss her touch,

All of her compassionate love.

I miss the times we would laugh,

But now this doesn't happen.

Are these maybe memories?

Am I living inside of my head?

So are you really here with me,

Or am I losing my everything?

And if I could break the rules.

I would touch her lips oh so soft with mine,

And hold her closer than I ever did before.

I would wipe away her running tears,

And scare away all of her fears,

I would do whatever I could to keep the peace. 

I would be the lover she wanted me to be.

This world is blowing up,

And everything is caving in,

but I want nothing but to be hers.

I want to brush her hair as she falls asleep,

I want to be there when everything goes wrong.

I want to spend the long mornings.
and all the long nights with her.
She is the angel through my eyes.

And I would cherish every moment this time.

And if this dream was real.

I would touch her lips oh so soft with mine,

And hold her closer than I ever did before.

I would wipe away her running tears,

And scare away all of her fears,

I would do whatever I could to keep the peace. 

I would be the lover she wanted me to be.
