I've spent
7,574 days
on this Earth
but it only
took me
1 day
to know
you were
the one

empty tables filling the silent
rows on rows taking up time
shadows making conversation
hallways telling gossip
between the rain and the clouds
taking sips from my coffee
wishing it never ended
haunted cracked window panes
spilling fragments of light
reminding me slowly
I'm all alone in this one

taking a photo of us
saving in my mind
waiting till this moment comes back

making a song about us
writing it down here
waiting till you're back with me

clearing off my bed
dusting the furniture
waiting till I can hold you close

time made sure we'd break
distance made sure I'd cry
but I'd never fall out of love with you

I don't wanna lose you to something I can't control
don't tell me that you're gonna leave me
don't you dare even walk out that door
I'm keeping you here close to me till death rings its bell
I'll lay with you here until our eyes no longer meet
Even when the world is ending we'll be safe
The winter winds blow in the spring air
We'll be cleansed of all the dark, hollow

the clouds like dark curtains drawn
trying to hide the warmth of the golden orb
the sky painting secrets like an ocean
tidal waves of emotion pulling me back and forth
praying the lightning strikes where my hands have been
taking deep breaths without thinking
the wind running through my fingers like thread
I am caught in the endless cycle of time
energy of the atmosphere holding me up
and I know you can't hear me anymore
but the air around me doesn't taste like roses
when you left the air began to taste like death

if i catch you in my dreams

would you stay long enough for me to kiss you?

if i happen to fall into your arms

would you hold me closely till i am healed?

if for a moment i can't find you

would you remind me again you're not far?

if i go blind and my heart fails

would you put me in a casket of roses?

if we happened to fall in love

would this daydream between me and you last forever?
