Little

little,

how little i knew you, 

you make me realise, my life,

everytime i prided my knowledge

little, how little I know you

my life,

the creases on your face,

the beats of your heart.

little,

you opened up, a little more,

when hope almost gave up,

little was the tear drop that oozed

from the corner of your closed eyes,

little, the gentle ray of sunshine,

that escaped your stubborn lips,

to melt on me,

that teared me up, a little.

little,

my life, give me a little more,

a little more warmth, 

a little longer moonlit sky

go a tad slower, so i can bask in the smile longer

draw a little closer, so the breath keeps me warm

be a little gentle, my heart's too weak to break again,

little,

my heart, beat but a little quieter,

time, pause a little, please 

don't let the dream end so soon!
