Can I Touch Your Love?

Sometimes relationships go on far too long simply because it's painful to end a dream.

————

Can I come inside your mind today,

And see what’s really going on?

Will you open up your heart for me,

Let me touch your love before it’s gone?

I’ve felt it growing colder,

I’ve watched it fade away.

While we’ve lived separate fantasies

And played games no one should play.

I know you’re making future plans

 In which I have no part.

And I’m pretending nothing's wrong 

Just whistling in the dark.

But I think we might be ready now

To accept the truth at last.

To face the future honestly

And stop clinging to the past.

Our love has been based on many things,

But never on the truth.

We’ve been chasing moonbeams 

And ideals of long lost youth.

Now, our fairy tale world is ending

As reality pounds loudly at the door.

It’s here to shatter all our dreams 

And to total up the score.

The winner and the loser 

Will both come out the same.

Battle scarred and lonely,

Wondering why they played the game.

But before we give in and say good-bye,

Can we share just one last dream?

Take my hand and hold on tight,

Tonight let's catch those moonbeams.
