I Can't Even Close My Eyes

by Tim Durbin

I can't even close my eyes anymore.
Sleeping just disappoints me now.
I can't say that I miss it all that much,
My dream visits me awake anyhow.

I can't stop thinking about you these days.
Not that I would ever want to.
It's a shame that I can sometimes remember,
The things that I used to do.

I'm always trying to occupy my mind,
With something other than your face.
But the love and happiness I see there,
Are things that can't be replaced.

I can still smell your hair on my pillow,
And it helps me when I'm unable to sleep,
The things that you leave behind when you go,
Aren't the things that I want to keep.

If I could make just one single wish,
And know that it would be real,
I'd wish to always make you happy,
To make you love, to know, to feel.

You live in a place where I'm not allowed,
Although I visit there a few times a week.
I know I've reached you with the things that we do,
The way we touch, make love, or speak.

I only want one simple thing from you,
It's not a tough order to fill,
When everyone else says that we shouldn't love,
Just tell me that you always will.
