Fourty Nine

49 above your eye
and 49 below.
I counted your lashes over and over
until asleep I'd go.

I stayed up
to watch you dream
that was the most
beautiful thing to me.

49 days have past
since I seen you last.
and in 49 days to come,
I wish you were still the one.

Knowing that someone
could be happy in my arms
was like the next chapter in life
had finally begun.

In your arms,
I drift away.
Everything is gone.
I feel no pain.

I fall asleep
and wake up next to you.
Its the best feeling in the world
to know someone loves me too.

Its been 49 days
since I could look at myself;
and you right there beside me.
I didn't want nobody else.

But in these 49 days,
I've been on my knees,
reassembling my heart,
picking up each piece.

I've tried to forget
through the past 49 days.
But I realize that's impossible
in every single way.

I've grown and changed
in so many ways.
I've become a new person
in these 49 days.

I've come to my senses, though.
If my love for you is true,
I've got to let you go,
and let you do whats right for you.

I'm not holding you back
from your life;
Because watching you dream
taught me to chase mine.
