For the Holidays

By Lexicon

It just occured to me,
That even though we arent together,
For the holidays, we always seem to be.
New Years, Independence Day and even Christmas eve.

I dont understand what a coincidence this is,
He's my everything, why cant I be his?

Ive seen him everyday for the past year,
Only in the end, to watch him disappear.

I dont understand what a coincidence this is,
He's my reason to live, why cant I be his?

Ive met his most important people,
This is only something a girlfriend would hope for.

I dont understand the difficulty of this,
He's my reason to love, why cant I be his?

I made a deal never to forget the beautiful person he is,
and to never leave him alone to self loathe no matter what he says.

I dont understand why we must always go through this,
In my dark, cold stark-raving sick, sad little world,
he's the glisten that is missing,
Why cant I be his?

He's my sunshine, my undying light.

He's my will to fight, my rescuer in eternal night.

He's my passion, my heart's sustaining ration.

All the things that make me whole, a somber voice to sooth my raging soul.



He revealed his feelings,
for a love that he thinks can never be.
Though Im blinded by endless tears, I comprehend to some degree.
I refuse to give up on him, though he has given up on me.

Although Im defeated by sentiment such as this,
He is still my everything, and I cannot be his.
