I love you but leave me.
Don't come back,
Run from me,
Quickly,
Swiftly,
Don't turn back, you'll trip me.
You'll hurt me,
You'll rip me,
Keep going,
Just leave me.
Go out there without me,
Run past me,
Run to me,
Then all the way through me.
Forget me,
Forgot me,
Good I'm just a memory.
Somehow you always bring me back to this place,
Back to this room, where we’ll lay face to face.
These four walls - forever ingrained in my memories,
With all of the feelings my heart carries.

Feelings of comfort, joy and safety,
Love, laughter and naivety.
Feelings of yearning, jealousy and lust,
Deceit, pain and broken trust.

Here we are again, right where I left.
For three and a half years you’ve committed theft.
You’ve stolen my heart and hid it from me,
Locked the door and swallowed the key.

Here I am, lying next to you for the thousandth time.
All those feelings come rushing in, it’s sublime.
But don’t think I haven’t thought this through,
This time, I’ve got a surprise for you…

Look into my eyes and you’ll see you’ve lost.
Your heart belongs to me, and it comes with a cost:
Break down these walls, and tear down this room,
Light it up and let the flames consume

All these memories and these pictures inside me,
All the truths that have been confined in me.
Let me be,
Set me free,
And that is where your heart will be.
Oh delicious, warm hearted cup of tea,
No combination of words in my brain,
Can express the immense joy you bring me.
It’s elusiveness, I cannot explain.

The sweet spices and heat touching my lips
Soothes my soul and removes all of my woes.
I hold happiness in my fingertips,
And disappear from my head to my toes,
To the sweet place only you can bring me,
A place where I am nothing but happy.

Oh warm hearted cup of peppermint tea,
Your existence is but a gift for me.
Some nights bring thoughts,
Some bring laughter,
Some tears.
Some bring memories that will last forever,
Some nights you’ll never even remember

Some nights you’ll wish would end sooner,
Some you’ll wish would extend longer.

Some nights are sleepless,
Some restless,
Some silent.
Some nights bring dreams,
Some bring cries and screams.

Some nights are like tonight,
Full of thoughts and futures sight,
Some nights pave the path,
And light the nights that’ll come to pass.
Each drip of water flowing, just as the one right before it,
down the same stream,
following the same current,
making no mistake to move from the rest.
There’s one right way, and nothing else.
One after the other, crushed together, moving,
flowing further away from change,
stuck in a pattern too afraid to refine.
So, down to the sewer line.
“I love you.”
There, I said it.
“I love you!”
And I mean it!
Every time those words come out,
They kiss my lips and tickle my throat.
You say it back, quietly in my ear,
And my mind goes completely clear.
“I love you”,
You’d whisper,
“I love you.”
I’d smile.
You’d kiss me.
I’d kiss you.
“I love you”
We’d smile.
