1.
I never questioned what love was,
I never thought I could do better.
Your love was always enough and
We lived happily ever after.
2.
This time we were slightly older
Neither of us wanted to be alone.
You kept me warm at night and
I never had to question if I was the only one.
3.
It was a dream we never had to wake up from
Where we kissed each other between bedroom sheets
And held hands by the sea.
We had the world at our fingertips and
Our laughter played on repeat.
4.
Every morning we woke up together.
We worked and came back home,
A cooked meal and sitcom television beckoning.
We said goodnight and held each other in the dark.
Nobody ever worried about waking up alone.
5.
There was never 152 miles
Or three hours worth of space.
There were no empty weeks,
We never tasted absence, and
Goodbye wasn't in our vocabulary.
In this world you didn't leave.
You never decided to give up.
6.
Here we live on our own planet.
Nobody knows we exist
So we fill the silence with our secrets and constant whispers.
The sunsets are ours every time.
7.
It's the afterlife.
I've been waiting and when you arrive
You collapse into my arms the way an angel falls;
Beautifully and all at once.
8.
I haven't seen you in thirty years.
We bump shoulders today on the side of a busy New York street
And the moment our eyes meet
We fall back into a love
Deeper than the ocean and
Brighter than the sun.
9.
You were born just 4 months before me
In the house next door
With a white front porch.
We fall in love before we even know what that word means
And you never move away on your 16th birthday.
Instead we reach 92,
Sitting in rocking chairs on
Your white front porch.
The place you first whispered I love you.
10.
I'm your morning coffee.
I'm your bed sheets too.
I'm the sun that warms each winter day and
I'm the space heater you turn to when it snows.
In this universe I never turn cold.
In this universe I know how to keep you warm.
11.
It's Groundhog Day and neither of us can seem to escape.
The day begins when we lock eyes for the first time
And ends with me sound asleep on your chest.
I wake up the next morning completely unaware of who you are
But I still manage to fall for your brown eyes every time.
12.
Goodbye does not exist here.
Neither does stay.
The words were never invented
Because your love never ran out and
Neither of us had to know what it felt like
When two worlds collide and
Completely shatter the other on impact.
13.
I'm a broken toy on the side of the street.
When you're walking with your mother
You pick me up and take me home
And glue my broken pieces back together.
We spend the rest of that summer side by side,
In a sandbox praying the laughter never ends.
14.
We're two raindrops living on the
Opposite sides of the same cloud.
When the sky turns grey and
Each of us tumble to the ground,
You find you way to where I am,
Melting us together right before
We crash into the pavement.
15.
You didn't sleep in a bed that wasn't ours.
I never threw that vase at your bedroom wall.
Our voices never got too loud.
I didn't crash my car on the way home.
Instead you played my favorite song
And we slow danced until time stopped and
The stars fell out of the sky.
16.
We are a picture frozen in time,
Framed on my left nightstand.
Our love doesn't change here,
Nor does it fade.
We keep laughing until
The people we became have long passed
That captured moment in time.
