There are things I'd like to keep

another work in progress..please be gentle!

There are certain things I’d like to keep

A distant memory

A face so sweet

There are certain things I’d like to call

A distant memory

A place to fall

There are certain things I long to hold

Your memory in my mind

A place that’s only mine

There are certain things I feel are cheap

The things I say

And the things you keep

I’d wish for a day

Where I could speak my mind

And not lead you astray

There are certain things I keep

That save me far from sleep

Certain things that make me burn

Certain things that keep you on

Certain things that make me weep

Certain things I long to keep

Far from the eyes of those that watch so dear

Far from the things that keep you near

Far from the crowds that urge us on

Far from the love that keeps me warm

Holding on for one more day

Holding on to a love

That will never lead my heart astray

Holding on true to form

Holding on to a love

That is sure to still burn

Holding on for one more day

Knowing your love

Won’t ever lead me astray
