Last Christmas was quiet and sad.
It was my second without you and that made me feel bad.
I longed to kiss you one more time.
Beneath the mistletoe as I remember this rhyme.
Because last Christmas was full of sorrow.
Just please know, it's you I think of at night tomorrow.
"I want to have kids with you, play in the snow."
Where oh where, did that idea go?
The idea that you and I would never be apart.
The idea that you are always in my heart.
It's almost Christmas and you're just one street away.
As I stay up and imagine a big bright bouquet.
I'm sure shes perfect, the girl you see now.
But does she know our story, did you tell her how?
How two unlikely people fell head over heels?
How a boy taught a girl to battle her fears?
Or have you forgotten the way that it felt?
Just you and me dancing, no parents nearby with belts.
Maybe its because you never heard her cry.
Maybe it's because you have nothing to say except sigh.
Whatever your reasoning I want you to know.
My love for you has only grown.
I loved you last Christmas and I love you today.
I think that itd be nice if you asked me to stay.
But who am I kidding?
You're you now and I'm me.
You think you're no longer the boy I loved before 18.
Well think again, because I see it in you.
A greater purpose we have that only each other can undo.
Merry Christmas darling from the bottom of my heart.
I wish this Christmas we weren't apart.
