amaranthine
amaranthine (adj.) - endless / I have fallen in love over 735 times. Some things can not be stopped.

At night I hear them in my head counting backwards for me, and lulling me into another lover. / I have fallen in love with my dreams, every night. In the morning when I push my legs over the edge and take my first conscious breath, I realize I will never see you again. Dream.
