What If It Never Happens?

I've forgotten the sound of your voice,
but we'll have conversations every night.
Then I'll cry myself to sleep
to dream about you 'til morning arrives.

I still remember the way your face looked -
how you'd smile with your nose first.
But that was then, now it's been a while.
This life has changed us for the worst.

What if I'm planning my whole life
around the day you come back,
and it never happens?

What if I spend my whole life waiting?
There's no more love, there's just the aching?
What if it never happens?
If I never see your face again?
If you never love me back again?
What if it never happens?

I'm so sure that you'll forgive me
that I've penciled you in for all my dreams.
All my milestones and greatest moments
'cause you should be there, by all means

But what if I'm planning my whole life
around the day you come back,
and it never happens?

You said forever,
but what about for life?
How do things get better
if we can't ever go back in time?
Can't fabricate,
can't even measure
all of the weight
of missing you forever.

If I never see your face again?
