I can seeFar from here,Into the distance of the unknownI look to my sideBut see darknessA presence touches my heartAnd a hand touches mineI'm not aloneWith your hand in mineI feel a spark that can't be easily deniedI want you hereWith meThere may be struggles, hurt, and painBut think of how much we have to gainI put my heart in your handTo let you know I'm in thisNo matter where we goYou hold me tighterBecause you know The time left isn't longI whisper one last kissBefore you walk out of my lifeHow far we've comeNow it's all goneAll because its deemed as wrongI miss you here beside meSwaying in my thoughts Like a gentle breezeBeing blown out of my life



Interpretation:

 1st Stanza:

  I'm thinking about what my future holds and I know that nothing is certain. I feel alone but I somebody else is there with me and they are there to guide me through this journey. (The same person from "I Think I'm Falling"). They grab my hand to assure that they have me and to trust in them and I feel some connection there that makes me crave them by my side.

2nd Stanza:

 Going into this relationship there will definitely be adversities that hinder us but we are there to keep each other strong. I fully give him my heart and trust and expect him to know that I'm in it for us for the long run.

3rd Stanza:

  He keeps me in his embrace to reassure me that we'll be okay, but deep down he knows that this won't last much longer. I give him my last bits of love that i can muster before he as to leave. The exit we both want to delay.

4th Stanza:

 Now that it's all over I think of how much of a waste it was that we had built this thing so high and now he was gone and it's worthless. But it's all over, because what we had was wrong at least in the eyes of others. I miss his presence and he's always in my thoughts like the wind scattering to many parts of my brain. But it eventually it dies down like the  wind does and like the wind it has blown the thoughts of my former lover out of my mind.
