Can I wake up tomorrow,
and not dream of yesterday?
Can I go to sleep at night,
and not want to hear what you have to say?
Can I wake up every morning,
and still know how to breathe?
Can I carry on with my life,
knowing you're all I'll ever need?
Can I stop looking at the clock,
at the times you used to call?
Can I go out to our usual spots,
and not think of you at all?
Can I look up at the stars,
and not wonder where you are?
Can I not expect to see you,
knowing you're never far?
Can I lay down in my bed,
and not wish that you were there?
Can I listen to our song,
without shedding a single tear?
Can I go through every day,
without wanting to feel your touch?
Can I drive around in my car,
without missing you so much?
Can I forget what my heart say's,
and not want to love you forever?
Can I live my life without you,
knowing we will never be together?
Can I let you walk out of my life,
and not want you to be my friend?
Can I ever be strong enough,
and not fight till the end?
I know that I can,
I just don't want to try.
I don't want you to leave,
I don't want to say goodbye.
