I want you to bury my heart along with my hands
So I cannot grasp your skin with every empty throb and beat.
Picture me with you
Picture us. For at least one last time
I am with you.

If I never fall in love again,
Give me your eyes,
The gift of sight to see what you worship. To adore
the footsteps you take further and further away from me.
It would take too long for me to forget. You
Whose prayers I’ve been repeating for too long.

If I never fall in love again,
Break me one last time
Leave crevices for me to find. Pieces of you
Still hurting and healing. I am
Not going to walk away.

When I fall in love again,
Allow me to do dance with you one last time.
Melancholy is inching its way through.
If I fall in love again,
Let it not be with you.
