More To Gain

   I touch the flame, and I can't look away.
  Once as my heart remembers, I was with you.

   Where can I go to, and what can I do?
  Nothing can please me, all thoughts are of you.

   You just left, I begged you to stay.
  I've not stopped crying, since you went away.

   Crying and thinking, is all I do.
  All memeories that I have, reminds me of you.

   Time gave both darkness and dreams, to you.

   If, I could catch a shooting star,
  I would give it to you.

   If, I could make time stand still,
  I would. I hope you knew.

   That, I would take you in my arms,
  And keep the away the pain.

   So, everyday you could wake,
  And have something more to gain.

   If, I could bottle up the sun,
  I would place in your eyes.

   So, you wouldn't lose that gleam you have,
  And, live through all the lies.

   If, I could blanket mornings mist,
  I would, to keep you near.

   So, everyday I could wake, 
  And wouldn't have this fear.
