disappear

is it madness to be true
to the promise i gave you
is it sickness to be sad
over what we might have had
is there something not quite right
with not wanting someone new
am i doing something wrong
to still feel in love with you

how many days must go by
before it becomes an obsession
how many nights must one cry
before it becomes a life lesson
how many weeks, many months, many years
how many wishes on first stars, how many midnight tears
how many prayers must go unanswered, pleas falling on deaf ears
before it's too long to be wanting you - what is the greater fear
being called a fool or madman -
or believing that love can just/simply disappear

is it fantasy to be
this true to this dream in me
is it harmful to be missing
the feel of your lips kissing
is there something not quite good
or am i just misunderstood
tell me what makes true love true
once i thought we knew...
once we swore we knew...

how many times must a heart beat
before it can let go
how many times must a heart break
before the mind must know
how many weeks, many months, many years
how many wishes upon first stars, how many midnight tears
how many unanswered prayers, pleas falling on deaf ears
before it's too long to be wanting you - what is the greater fear
being called a fool or madman -
or believing that you want me to just/simply... disappear

i'd never want you to know this if it doesn't please you
or if my loving you is something you don't want me to do
this is as close as i'll come to your life unless you say
you want me to share more with you today
want me to be in your life today
right or wrong i dream
to be in your life today

i can stay away if you want me to
and i may be a fool or madman but one thing is clear
but i can't believe (i won't believe) that love can just/simply disappear
love cannot, love does not just/simply disappear
