Only mortals
Have told me

That it would ****
To live forever

You know, it's funny
We never anticipate the ways
We're gonna isolate ourselves
From the ones we care about

When all you have
Are memories

Who will
Remember you?

When you are together
Be together completely
Let them know
That they are loved
Until they begin to understand
What that actually feels like
And then keep on with it
Loyal by nature
Be rest assured
That they'll stick around
So let me scale your walls and
Be close enough to love you
And carefully search for
Signs of the surest routes
To your golden heart

Bagging groceries has given me
A strange window into people's lives

I stuff their secrets into a paper sack
And I tell them to have a good day

But I'm not sure they do

The endless stays
Amongst the trillion ways
We feel the light and song right now

How always I know
There is love out there
By far transcending the four letter way
We say forever to each other

In romantic relationships
You speak Latin
And your empire falls

In platonic relationships
You speak Greek
And think about caves
