Not Just Yet

Iโ€™m 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

Iโ€™m by myself


But Iโ€™ll be in my own world

Playing make-believe


Now Iโ€™ll never

Have to let go


Or be

All alone


Iโ€™ll go back

Not exactly to the start


But to the time when I

Wasnโ€™t sure if I loved you yet


Things seemed so

Much simpler than


If I hadnโ€™t had met you I

Wouldnโ€™t 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 canโ€™t exactly

Remember your voice


Or feel the heat

Of your warmth


Make-beliving youโ€™re here

Doesnโ€™t seem to work


Iโ€™m not ready to

Move on just yet


So Iโ€™ll be waiting here like Iโ€™ve

Done since the day weโ€™ve first met
