Not Just Yet
Iโm not ready
To move on just yet
Let me pretend
Only for a little while
I understand that nothing
Will ever be the same
Yet again
Iโm by myself
But Iโll be in my own world
Playing make-believe
Now Iโll never
Have to let go
Or be
All alone
Iโll go back
Not exactly to the start
But to the time when I
Wasnโt sure if I loved you yet
Things seemed so
Much simpler than
If I hadnโt had met you I
Wouldnโt have felt all this
Love or pain but now
Everything feels the same
Close my eyes and imagine
Being back in your warm arms
I stay quiet just
Listening to you talk
Yet now I canโt exactly
Remember your voice
Or feel the heat
Of your warmth
Make-beliving youโre here
Doesnโt seem to work
Iโm not ready to
Move on just yet
So Iโll be waiting here like Iโve
Done since the day weโve first met
