one day you will take me away
as darkness sets upon us.
would it be that bad?
i'd get to hold you again
for the rest of eternity,
escaping the prison i'm in now.

no, i am scared of death,
afraid of leaving before i'm done
changing from the shell i was
into a person i love,
because that's all that really matters.

i won't ever forget you.
i'll cherish our memories forever,
but it's about time i bandage the cuts
and quit destroying myself
with the past i can't control.

i'll stop counting scars
and start counting steps
towards a better June.
