Imagine if we could disappear for a while,
Nothing would come between us when were away.
A scary rerun deep inside my head.
What could've happened to us if we had stayed?
Before I go you should know that I'll always be here.
How could they keep me away from you ?
Everytime I see my reflection in your eyes,
I know that one day you will be mine.
