The Finish Line

I'm in love with a phantom
An incorporeal being
All my friends say that I'm lying,
They say it's only in my dreams.

But this love is like a nightmare
And there is no waking up
I'm racing to you every chance I get,
But our bodies never touch

Darling please, stay with me
For a while
I can't come to you
Because I'm not yet through
And I'm dying for your kiss,
But I'm living for your smile

Maybe it's just an illusion,
Maybe I'm wrapped up in guilt,
Maybe my imagination
Is drowning in pool of all the tears that I have spilled.

But I don't think that I'm crazy,
I don't believe it's in my mind
Our love has lasted such a long time
My heart's been haunted ever since the night you died.

Darling please, stay with me
For a while
I'm not ready to
Cross over to you
But I'm dying for your kiss,
And I'm living for your smile.

Will we meet again,
When I'm at my end?
Do my dreams come true
Or do my delusions die?

As my last moments creep,
I find it hard to think,
Doubt is sneaking through,
But all I see is you.

Darling please, won't you stay with me
Until the end
Yes I can see
You bend like a reed
But my body's like an oak tree
And this fear is my wind.

So Darling please, just comfort me
While there's time.
This may be the beginning
Of our love transcending
Or it may just be
The finish line.
