The last time

Searching every face

hoping to catch a glimpse of you

just a second of your time

because the last time

was the last time

shouldnt have been the last time

i kissed your lips

you held me close

i saw your face

in a stranger, in a crowd,

Lingering a moment to long at the smell

of your cologne

letting the memories wash over me.

Just a second of your time

hoping for a call

because the last time

was the last time

shouldnt have been the last time

you held my hand

made me laugh

i saw your smile

in a dream, one night

watching it slowly fade away

it was never really real

Searching every face

in a crowd, hoping,

dreaming for one more glimpse

a second of your time

just to prove to myself that the lips ive kissed,

the love ive held

the laughter ive heard was real.

Because the last time

was the last time...

shoulda captured your smile

like a firefly to keep all my own.

Because the last time

was the last time

shouldnt have been the last time

we touched

shouldve made time stop
