Pathways And Gates

I remember staying awake for hours,
all alone thinking about you.
Wishing I could turn back the clocks,
and make it all start over again,
On this sleepless night,
maybe I'm afraid to let go of you.
Nobody wants to be alone in the end,
only to be put away in solitude for the rest of time.

If you're my chains,
then never will I be able to break them.
I'll always feel love for you.
And these bonds that keep us together,
will they always remain timeless in our hearts?
Because I know I've done some wrong,
and all I hope is forgiveness will be found in your hands.

I've had some time alone to think about this.
Do you ever wonder why the stars shine so bright?
Maybe because they reflect my love for you,
but you're too blind to see them through the darkened sky.
Your pretty face is all I see when I close my eyes,
no not the scars you've left on my back,
or the tears that have drowned me in despair.

Will I die alone?
Without anyone to guide me through the bright light.
If I ever reach the gates,
will you march with me until the sun sets?
And all the hours I've spent crying over little things,
all built up to this moment.
And now I can't even choose which path to walk on forever.
Please don't let me feel forgotten again.

Forgiveness can be found in the darkest of times,
and love remains warm night after night.
Sometimes we may feel like sleepless machines,
laboring this infertile soil beneath our feet.
But if you save me now,
how will I ever arrive to my destination?
I wonder how long this night will last,
but I know you're coming for me,
and I know he's looking for us,
I know these gates will never open without you beside me.
