Just Cause

why am I still reaching
so used to reaching
I forgot
so sorry
I forgot why I hold on
with all my might
my perfect intentions
this will last forever
but then again
I lost something
sometime ago...
I wish I knew
what I am fighting for
embraced so hard
this frail cause
and we sit silent
on the telephone
I hear the same words
as nineteen eighty-nine
I've made too many promises
paved great loyalties
but we have to hang up
sooner or later
but the thought holds on
that we will never fade
but we elude ourselves
by the miles and years
out growing our memories
we can make it forever
but what, after all
do we have to make
