Across our time

I've keep a list of things to change in case they'd invent a time machine tomorrow, and you will never be on it.

2am: The Last Call

If this is the last time please come close,

Touch my face before you go.

If this is the last time please come close,

Don't hold your breath dad, it already hurts when I see your eyes closed.

If this is the last time please come close,

Tear my walls down and take me home.

If this is the last time please come close,

Hold me softly and tell me a joke,

Like how you burnt your pants when trying to smoke.

If this is the last time please come close,

Teach me of the world and warn me of the sea,

I'll carry your lessons and try not to choke.

If this is the last time please come close,

We'll share a prawn curry and talk about Chelsea,

Then we'll head back home and I'll climb your tree,

If this is the last time I'll come close,

Recognize my presence, 

I promise I'm not a ghost,

I've understood your love and now I'm learning how to say it,

How I've always missed you,

And I hope you'd hear it.
