Well there was that time. In the car. The rain fell soft and steady. I wanted to kiss you.
By the river. As the midday fireflies danced between the ripples. I wanted to tell you I love you.
I couldn’t. I can’t.
Because it doesn’t matter what I want.
All that matters.
Is that you’re happy.
So take my sunsets and whiskey soaked dreams. My ashen hopes
and silent screams. Take what you want and take what you will. Take my last breath and leave my world still.
In the eye of the storm I’ll remember your heart. Night after night you tear it apart. Smokey fingers and midnight wishes. Unsaid things like unwashed dishes.
A thousand lifetimes could come to offer. Silver linings and bottomless coffers. And not a single one will I take care. Unless it’s promised I’ll see you there.
