The Dancing Branches

I love you and that is why
'I don't want to hurt you any more'
Now we are two people in our own diverging stories

In an old room smothered under the weight of pale and cold sighs
The heat from our love and passion won't linger for very long
A kind snow falling unnoticed calmly falling to the floor
And glimmering before my eyes fleeting bittersweet memories

We draw close to each other I quietly take your little hand
An empty gesture we repeat over and over
A piercing 'Don't leave me' interrupts the quiet of the room
Left all alone in that place I find myself

I love you and that is why
'I don't want to hurt you any more'
I love you and that is why
'I can't ever bother you again'
Though we've both bloomed from the divergent branches of our past,
forever and ever our pure white memories

A campus floating in a visionary silver city
The reasons I've drawn have
Rewarded with you again

The words you wanted to tell me the time we spent together
They still live on within me locked inside of that old room
Have you found the rest of your dream within the arms of someone else
Empty words sent to an aimless sky

I love you and that is why
'I don't want to hurt you any more'
I love you and that is why
'I can't ever bother you again'
The frozen blossom's fragrance brought in on the wind
A draft blowing through shuddering branches

If I could have one last wish
It'd be to go back to those days
And recover the humour
I never noticed that I had lost
Tameless memories
On the other side of the window
Floating to the ground

I love you and that is why
'I don't want to hurt you any more'
I love you and that is why
'I can't ever bother you again'
Try closing your eyes; and you'll see what comes into your head,
forever and everOur pure white memories

(Don't want to hurt you
Not going to trouble you
Don't want to hurt you)
