I picture us falling down a bottomless pit
And we're nearing a section with a divergence in it
We can hold each other as close as we want in the minutes we have left
But that does not change the reality that the divider will show up
And split us in two
Let us imitate intimacy
While we're still in each other's vicinity
And though I've inconsistently felt your proximity,
I know that, for now, you're here with me
A day before she goes, it feels like it could snow
It's so cold out
A day before she goes, I find myself below
Just crying out
Our hearts, heavy, worn, ignorant of what to do
They cling to each other and wish that the two
Could once again become one
And that this all would be done
