“Vanishing Point”


The one that I love is starting to fade away.
I’m afraid that she will be gone one of these days.
I don’t think she would go out with me anyways.

I can’t talk to her.  Reaching her’s harder.
She’s getting farther.  I am losing her.
If I don’t act now, she will disappear
and all my feelings will turn into fear.

My first love disappeared three years ago.
Now not one thing from her will ever show.
Will my new love turn out to be like her?
She’s starting to fade.  I cannot lose her.

I see her less everyday.
She’s starting to fade away.
I must struggle to keep her in sight.
I’m afraid of losing her.
and I want to be with her,
so I must try everyday and night.

I want to go out with her.  I’ll do anything for her.
But if I don’t talk to her, she might disappear for sure.

I have only talked to her on the phone.
When I walk near her, she leaves me alone.
The thing that I fear is she’ll disappear
and she’ll surely leave me on my own.

She is almost gone.  I must try harder.
I cannot let her disappear for sure.
When I see the vanishing point, I will stop her.
Because I will not let her go, and I love her.
And as long as she’s around, I’ll always love her.
