I Count Down The Days by Shira

I hope I know this dance as you take my hand in yours
I hope I know this song so I can sing softly in your ear
Everything is going fine and now I count down the days
When you'll leave just like the rest

I know those eyes, I've seen them before
I wait until the day they turn gray and worn
I see the light now but I wait for the dark
I know it will come, that's the painful part

Those words, i've heard them spoken
Tender hearts carelessly broken
When will they stop when will they turn to hate
I count down the days

I wake next to you to kiss so soft
I start falling again for something falling apart
the end is approaching I know but I can't see
The day you go to her, when you've had enough of me

I still wait, when we hold hands for you to let go
When you reach out but I can't seem to feel
I wait for that day when you pull your hand away

I count down the days

That day is approaching I feel it in my heart
That day when you tear my whole world apart
You kiss me so gently on my hand once more
I fall for you more than i ever had before

Yet i wat for the day when you stop doing these things
The last iss you'll ever give and your love to fade away
The first time is always the hardest people confess

It gives me worning, however, when you feel lost
When the those eyes turn gray when your kiss fades
and when you finally pull your hand away

I count down the days

awww
It's good to be vigilant , but not to much. How are you suppose to fall in love? Most relationships end in the end, but then the right person comes along and it doesn't end. If you know that this will not go any were, then just see this as a right person but not for you instead of breaking your poor little heart if it comes to an end. Sometimes you have to let your guard down. That's how love comes our way. Don't count, just enjoy. xxx

Yes
I know by counting the days until you fall apart leaves you no room for love. It's just, everyone thinks about it when they are in a relationship at least once...and i did more so now than ever. You are right though...love as if it were your last.
