Our Days Were Numbered

i want to be with you
forever

all the things I should have done by now
keeping promises, reciting vows
formalities overlooked somehow

i want to hold on to
the things i'm able to
i know that nothing else lasts
forever

i want to hold on to
the things i'm able to
so caught up in what's the right thing to do
part of the fun, they say,
is in the mystery
i guess i'll wait it out
for now
