ca fait longetemps

it has been longer than it was ever supposed to be
the distance shows every now and again
when my eyes gaze into a crosswalk
everything in meeh has changed
and who says it isnt all for the better

something i never thought to imagine
and there it all began
that crosswalk over there - ha
cant help but chuckle at the thought
and that one... and those too

the way people believe in unicorns and then they dont
and it was all a dream at first
but you assured meeh i was pleasantly mistaken.
so i didnt sleep because i didnt want to wake up without you
but i was convinced

we lie there talking about the universe and then it went black
when my eyes opened i was afraid
but you
the way you held meeh
i could believe in anything

and the days were hurried
but the nights were slow
and i was grateful
though i didnt know when
i was sure my time was short
and it was

the last time i opened my eyes
you were not there
and i thought id lost it all

though id been avoiding it forever
i made my way to the crosswalk
where i first caught your sight
and there you were again

perhaps you tarried there too long
your back was turned
and you walked away

i didnt have the heart to call out to you
i knew you would be back
i heard you whisper in the wind
and so will i

parce que malgre de temps
et ca fait longetemps
je t'aime encore...
