The crescent moon gazed down at us
As I unrelentingly borrowed more minutes from Time
Two hearts burning flames in the night
Beneath our calm facades

My mind imagined my fingers tracing up your right arm
Casually resting on your steering wheel
But it would have been too much
For me to have to let go

And even my eyes averted yours
For they wouldn't have survived
Your starry oceans drowning
So my mouth talked about everything
But the blatant fact that Fate was again
Cruelly separating you from me

Now I am left with nothing
But the taste of your skin warm
Lingering on my lips
Haunting me awake at night

One bare second
When I so willingly
Let you steal my heart once more
After which I had to rush out of your car

Because one more second
And even the ghost of my heart
Empty beatings I need to survive by
In the darkness of the next nine moons
Would have been trapped
Under your inescapable spell
