I will make a mirror
with your love
in my little heart,
Then I always can see you
in that secret mirror
if we will ever be apart!

I will make nature beautiful
with your memory
in my tired eyes,
Then I can see you
and your imagery.
Yeah, I will do this
I make a promise!

If you forget me forever
and don't love me anymore
then I'll never ask you
to take my fears away,
but no one can see
how much pain is in my broken heart!
Sweetie, it'll bring tears to my eyes
and that can make a salty sea!

Do we live
Just to be a memory?
Like
A living thing once was
But
Now
A fossil?

you told me you'd always
be there waiting to catch me for when or if I was ready to fall.

i would look down
and see you with your
outstretched arms and unwavering eyesight set on me.

all this time you've been ready for me,
and so one day i jumped.
i jumped to and for only you.
and as i made my descent i looked down to see you.
and i did. see. you.

but you were running to catch someone else.
someone that was ready before me.

this was the day i had chosen to trust you with my love.
this was the day that you broke me in more ways than one.

you arrived too early and faltered and i arrived too late and shattered.
