There's always another - OpenTank O (O) ((O))

There’s always another
To make you change your mind.
How do you let go
Just so you can strengthen
Your grasp?
I wish I could be the
Answer to her dreams
Like some romantic
Escapade,
Replayed over and over
Just after you wake,
Sifting and reaching ---
Holding tight to the
Shadows.
Age and time
Against us;
I’m losing faith
In both of us.
Too many times
It’s just another fling:
I just want a friend.
