As the light turned to dark,
You were there.
You shielded me from the pain that was trying to tare me apart.
You held me up when I didn't know how too.

I lived on your chest.
It was the only place that i felt safe. Everyday we searched for the invisible bond we both dreamed of.
We thrived for the connection that would move our relationship further,
But neither of us could find it.

So we stopped living in each others arms.
Safety wasn't enough.
We had to learn how to live without one another.
Neither of us wanted to say goodbye.
But our paths were going different ways and neither of us will have the connection we're dying for,
If we stay together.
So we only live in each others memories.
