Untitled - "You're on one knee"
Originally Written: Janurary 29th, 2004
You’re on one knee
My heart is pounding
How can this be?
A ring in your hand
Hope on your face
And all I can do is shake my head
The pain of saying no
Is just too great to bear
I love you so much
In every sense of the word
And I want to be yours
But I have class in the morning
I start college in a month
I’m to young
You’ve grown up before me
You’re ready, I can’t
Not yet
Give me time
Wait for me
Like I’ll wait for me when you go
With an Army bag on your shoulder
And hold my hand
Hold me close
Like I’ll hold you before you leave
My heart rips that I can’t be yours
And the tears roll that you can’t
Stay with me
Neither of us can win
And I pray
You’ll return to me
Like I know you pray
That I’ll give you my hand
