here and gone

waiting for the hours
when winter shifts to spring
your cold lips are warm
we’re dreaming of these things
a week to last a lifetime
given a moment’s pause
when this will be forever
love to justify a cause
fingers that grasp too tight
knowing the miles all too well
white knuckled handshakes
secret fears they’ll never tell 
when romance turns to heartache
a silent hope is broken
keeping this from taking shape
my every fears are spoken
to never slip a last regret
or shout a nevermind
i’ll hold you ever close
though you’ll never be confined
all your aspirations
the things you build to keep
i’ll help with the foundations
if you’ll hold me when i sleep 
a picture’s all i’ve got now
static smiles in a frame
candles to remind us
a symbol for a flame 
we hold onto our futures
the present’s just a fraud
we’re growing better by the days
making peace with all the flaws
you’re my always, golden boy
a name that couldn’t be replaced
i’ll fall in line with what i have
knowing that you’re always keeping pace
