Like the night I lay my head on your shoulder, I needed you to stay alive, I needed you in order to stay alive. The night we saved each other’s lives.
It was everything, and your heart kept beating (against my ear) and the tv talked to itself. We went to sleep afraid that it was nothing.
Like that night you told me you were in love with me. It was nowhere special. It was the couch in your room. And thats what made it real.
I said nothing back and the trees tapped against the window and eyes around the world were closing. I did not speak, but I kissed you.
Like the night you drove me home after the world broke our hearts. It was 1am We were two, two was one, and one was alone.
I wanted to stop moving and the floating snow brought silence in through the open windows and the street lights made moving shadows on your skin. The earth moved as black pavement rushed beneath us.
Like tonight as the weight of moments that were years is breaking our necks. I’ll pick up my eyes and look at you waiting for me in the openness of the street brighter than a star.
Standing there like an open door and the wind is blowing through your hair and when every breath is a leap of faith, I will never stop falling.
